FS or Hardtail

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

That MTB must ride well extended like that!!!not,obviously didn't have your size on offer!

Not at all. Raised the post so it cleared the bars of another bike on the towbar rack.

It would surprise most people how much saddle-bar drop I actually have

I'm getting the carbon 456 evo on my works C2W scheme. for a grand I honestly don't think you'll get a better HT. easily good enough with 140mm of travel to do any trail centre, comfortably.

Quite fancied that carbon myself. On finance though, since my current cycle to work bike still runs till July.

Heard a few people say it rides pretty harsh, and since I cant try it out in person I decided against it. Shame, because it looks great and seems to have a great spec at the price.

Anyone that says a 140mm carbon hardtail rides harsh has got their tyres pumped up too high (or is talking bolleaux)

Riding buddy has one and I've had a goo on the Dog at Cannock on it, feather light and super fast. I think this 'carbon is harsh' is utter tosh, or at least it is at my level of riding, felt no difference at all to my alu HT. Rode great and with the 140mm forks and slack head tube angle it'll tackle anything I can throw at it, I reckon.

Blame the guys over at BikeRadar. Although, I just looked the bike over again, and realised I somehow missed it was a 26". Thinking a Lurcher or Parkwood, though. On-One seem to have ridiculous value, even compared to other direct sales brands.

First ride on the KTM today. It performed well.... I didn't.

I'd forgotten how hard off road riding was!

Looks good. I agree with lots of people here only get a FS if you have lots of money and the trails require it. A good HT will take you very far.

That's a nice bit of kit that. Always a fan of black and red colour schemes.
