  I'm going out here next week. Does this require two vehicles? How do you get to the top? Looks like you'd have to start a climb from Teton Pass trailhead and end at Trail Creek trailhead.. Unless you want to climb another 1200 feet back to Teton Pass trailhead.. Hmm

  I’m not sure if there’s still snow up too or not, but it’s one where you park at the top and have a car at the bottom to get you back up at the end of the day! Hopefully you got out and had a blast riding in Wyoming

  @@SemiSendy I get it.. but as a mechanic 👨🏻‍🔧 who works on bikes 6 days a week with only one day off.. my blood sweat and tears for working on bikes simply disappears when I look at this shock and how easy it will be to service. Also if anything goes wrong it’s not “proprietary” being made by Fox & they are and have been extremely reliable to work with when anything goes wrong with any of their shocks that need warranty or internal service. Anywho time will tell kUz I personally see cableless drivetrains and bikes like the stumpy nothing less than a Dream to work on compared to many other bikes in this MTB category

  For this race? Definitely an all mountain or Enduro bike over a DH bike.. This isn’t a real “DH” Course. In general, for bike parks.. a DH bike would be able to take more abuse then an Enduro bike.

  Haha not that bad actually.. with Ultimate level Rockshox suspension Code stealth brakes & new GX transmission I’d say this bike is bang on for value at $5,699 usd 👌🏼 dam good bike for the versatility of its Geo and intended use as a all mountain slayer of a bike. Capable of switching between either mullet options and full 29 as well as adjustable travel options from 150mm rear 160mm front to 160mm rear and 170mm front! Also a full 200mm dropper post on size 3 (medium) not many companies spec their medium bikes with that long of a dropper. Carbon bike is on par price wise with other great bike companies offering carbon only frame options for the MTB market.
