@@SevenMedia7 its 150 front and 130 rear. I ride it everywhere. cross country/ bike parks/alps and its enough for me. it is a plus bike though. so I get a little more cushioning with the 2.8 tyres

That section at around 15.50 or so, is the best thing at Dalby. Great vid - when my new bike turns up, that’s the first thing I’m going to do 🤪 might go horribly wrong as I’ve not ridden a mountain bike for almost 10 years 🤔

@@TrailFinder Agree! If I'm to be completely honest, 710 felt overall better to me than the ultimate. I need to play with suspension settings some more to see if I can get it dialed in. It does climb much better than the 710 though, and quite a bit lighter. Enough about that though, keep on with the great vids!
