First Impressions
Last fall late, Rucky Mountain Bikes launched the most recent repetition of their XC-Maria-downconcroncontrover machine: component. I’m a big fan of the previous version and reviewed Mr. Ferantay; A fan of my own (this, especially). My private C99-Ish element is a test covers for a variety of tires, suspension and pedals, and it is better for me to be better. Although far from the clean XC race is, its main features maintain the main features from its history: it is very well when it is active and play and play. Meanwhile, the Rocky added a healthy dose with the mass of the mass, but also a healthy dose. To use a tired adote, it is a bike, and it is a riot.
So when the new is launched, I immediately noticed a bit immediately. Everything is considered a little light and a bit of xc. Does the new do something to be degraded on the old one? It’s time to find out.

Frame details and geometry
As is normal in 2025, the new element became very few from its predecessor. This is very little, in fact, it is the same. This is not a knee – all reviews I have seen and the last component and the last component I have got to all I know. Don’t say it’s not new. The frame went through small and important changes, and the carbon rear triangle lost a pivot point in exchange for a thin and flexible chainste.
From one distance, 2025 element is difficult to different from the previous version, however, the chainstale and hollow shock link easy gifts.
In the Slack Razer, the geometry is equivalent to the range of 4, chainstale long. The Xs and the rear center are based on the 650B wheels and the rear centers.
For other features, some people may surprise in the absence of an in-frame storage compartment, but I’m not one of them. I choose cleaner, the lighter frame and chucks a multitude and pump my person. If you should bear things, in the new component, there is a lot of consideration in the new component, adding an accessory mount under the top tube, there is a third boss of two downtook bottles under the top tube. There is also a Downtook Protector as a rubber checkeretite. Integrated cable ports and interior route, the enhanced bike is very quiet in the last element.
Better and thin chainstale are designed to grow vertically, add the batizing with a pivota and bearings. To my eyes, it looks very good without that cable port, but it is important for many to run a mechanical rear dailelor.
Under the main pevel, sit down, improved the seat tub cable port in this repetition. Challenzulat protection is the best.
The brothers of Roman roads that are spread across the height is exactly than their brothers, but are not less.
Suspension
Calling the Rocky Calling The New Flex-Stay Design “Smooth Link Sly”, Design Weight Increase Lateral Hardiness, Reduce the needs of service needs. When I prefer this change so far, in transferring the double lines of teenagers in the outgoing model, I like this change so far. I still look very busy for meeting with the dampers, but it seems to be “good” yet. It retains an active pedalical features of its XC roots, the suspension is active as well as activation is active in the lusts.
A bike, such as the component is required to go and down. Whether the slow head tube is not good when things are steep and tight, the chunk power moves are retained as the bike is retained and passes the pedal strokes.
Builds and elements
First, there is no alloy models. The factor is only in Carbon, in the carbon, and we are filled with C70 and Top End C99, Roxshox’s most flight and eye-moistful price.

In case I think that I think there is a cost-saving, the ex-Hoop falls to a Novatic hub. Fast Rolling Maxx Reconstens the fastest intentions of the new bike, and I like these tires, winter coasts can be greased with them.
If you are a cable shifting Effeciento, the lowest C 30, or make a bike with your only election shimman or dioro, or make a bike from the frame.
Fox float performance is the rational choice for a build like the C70. I am still working on setup but the back was easier than fork.
I have suffered a little bit, I still wrap my head to a balanced place. I certainly worsen in setting fox products (I have less than them), but I will tell you time if I can get it up where I can get it.
Fortunately, these are four pi piston level, and slipped with metallic pads and 180mm HS 2 rotors. I’m not left for authority because the trap is a weak link. I don’t like this grape but I’m in trouble. All other factors in the game are hard to say, but these bars appear to be tough.

The component likes to be hard – you don’t go to the coastal amazing depths but often divides hairs if a big bike is faster. Learn, and your margin is significantly reduced to the error.
First ride Impressions
This bike is a bit weird. On the one hand, it seems so familiar with a changed because the geometry is not changed. On the other hand, almost each component changed. Everything seems abroad and strange with different dams and wheelbarks. Still, I was danced to the new bike by saying that I’m going to go with this bike. The big question is to make changes to my new favorite or change the Chassis, and the suspension kinematics should be taken to a direction I should choose.
I need to find this fork. I am working to act two, air pressure to find a happy arrangement. I will add a few volumes spaces for the next ride and it is closer to us. The rear shock may be over long, but it should be expected from this beautiful small XC dampers. The float performance does not seem to be hot as Sydlex, but at times, it feels a bit marshmallo-waves, and some disinfectants find the sounds of fox areas.
I will try to change this new frame to this new frame to this new frame, and I will try to try to find a happy place with shock and fork.
We come out of the depth of winter Vancouver’s annual couple, so I have not logged in a heap of new element. So far, most of the impression seems to keep the most of the last things I loved about the last thing I loved. I am looking forward to fitness lost in cold and white weather.
Great moves are a small bike. I will report again in a while!
