[Andrés Grau]

What travel did you set your boxer at?

200 mm

200 mm

Looks like a Magic Mary up front? 2.6? What's in back? On stock wheels?

 

[Andrés Grau]

Yes, Magic Mary 2.6 up front and Eddy Current 2.8 both with Cush Core. I rather use 2.6 on the back but EC only comes in 2.8 for 27,5 wheels.

I dont´t like stock Roval wheels, but Cush Core really helps!

No mention of a dropper on the Comp specs …. am I missing something??

Duel crown? You just need to learn the difference between duel and dual.
Maybe you need to learn how to ride downhill without a “duel” crown fork.

I can and could ride with a dual crown fork up switchbacks, it just makes no sense for my regular trails. Why make it harder for a slight improvement downhill?

My Bad I better go back to SCHOOL or learn to SPELL , You can go much faster down hill with a Dual Crown Fork Period lol

That’s not really a fair comparison, there are 40 years between those two GTOs.
The bottom GTO beats the top one in every category except looks.
Kinda like the new Kenevo vs the old Kenevo
Wait, it is a fair comparison[/QUOT

They’re still both dogs.

Why not go the route of the Dodge Challenger? Update the technology but keep the flavor.

Chainstay: +11mm
Standover: +18mm
BB: -5mm (not a very aggressive change IMO)
Wheelbase: +29mm on M/S2
Reach: +14mm on M/S2
HA: -1deg (not very aggressive either)

Short people need not apply!
Looks like a "race" bike, rather than a playful "park" bike.
