😱 7.5k? Where? Crazy. Compared to Spec and Santa it's a good price anyways..

I wanted to buy a mith last year but haven't found one. So I bought the new bullit instead. Now there are several Mith available in Switzerland. I went to a Shop to try one out, fell in love and immediately took it home. Suspension setup was easier than on my Bullit X0. The dji feels like so...

I just never liked the way a Fox rides. Although I like the HSR/LSR. The RS doesn‘t have that. I can tune the RS more to my Liking and also prefer it over an Öhlins. I‘m very low in the Travel now (almost 30% sag up Front) and like that better. But 170mm is the better fit for that bike IMO.

In Front of the House

I didn't like the fox suspension and went RS Ultimate (180mm ZEB + Vivid Coil). At 178cm and 73kg (without gear) I'm running around 56psi and 400lbs. HSC fully open, LSC changes on every trail. HBO is set to minus one. The 180mm might've been a mistake. The Bike corners different. At some angle...

Yeah, I got like max 10% SAG..

Did the Info on the Santa Website help you? Or is it far off? I started with that but am nowhere close so far.. 😉 My 38 has 3 Tokens in it. Maybe I have to take one out and compare. And I'll test the high progression setting. So far the Bike is either soft and can't jump or it's poppy but also...

If you've never seen the gloss black live: I tried to take a Picture that shows it's colour as accurate as I could. It's certainly not black. 😉

Def not. But still it's interesting what he says about the weight distribution. That would match with the big emtb reviewer's "you have to work towards the front wheel".

🤣 Thought so.. Just posted that so we have anoter "live" look.. I dunno how one can "review" like that. 🤪

Not that much of a difference if you take 18mm SAG (60mm stroke), 18.75mm (62.5mm) or 19.5mm (65mm). I'd go with the 18.75mm SAG for the 62.5mm Stroke as the specialized data sheet says. If you set your SAG to 18.75mm but the stroke was only 60mm you're still only at 31.25% SAG. So no Problem...

This looks a lot like you live pretty nearby! I'm in Zug. Where are you at? Maybe we can go for a ride together one day. 😉

I like the Vivid Ultimate Coil with Hydraulic Bottom Out. I have my SAG at exactly 30% and no bottom out on jumps or drops.

What size and model will you get then?
