Anyone else braving the wind and rain/hail? I’m booked in for the morning slot.

Didn’t know there was one on! I had a demo down in Plymouth and had it over a Weekend. Let us know what you thought. I did Lanhydrock and cardinham as well as local trails. Very enjoyable ?

I had to cut it a little short as I had another commitment but got time for a squirt around one of my usual routes (approx 7km). Really enjoyed riding the SL which felt like a well sorted bike. I can’t wholeheartedly say I noticed a big difference weight wise compare to my portly Trance. It felt nimble though and the power delivery felt good. The trails were absolutely saturated so I didn’t really push it and would like another go on one when things have dried up some. I was impressed with the Butcher tyre on the back which seemed grippier than my usual Rekon.
