It’s all about personal preference. Even though this now weighs 45.5lbs, I don’t feel it. I actually enjoy pedaling it more vs. when it had the air shock. There’s something about the coil in this bike and you have to ride it to understand it.

I was using eco and trail, but mostly on trail. This is the mullet set-up. I am very impressed with how the suspension...
Holy cow…This SL is nice and plush. Impressive suspension even for the comp model. First impression after a 22 mile ride was very impressive. The motor and power delivery was better than my ‘22 Rise and this would most likely get the same range as my 360wh Rise. Really impressive.
