I'm very tempted. How does the suspension work? There don't seem to be any pivots, but then there doesn't seem to be much (any) travel either. :?

its a soft tail rather than a proper fs design. the chainstays flex and the shock is there for a bit of spring and damping. designed to take the sting out of some hits and trail buzz.

i would love this but have something exciting i'm waiting on from the same brand

sadly not pink and blue. a year too new for that. however, it does need new paint!

I'm glad to see someone bought this. Anyone on here?
I was so close to having this taking up even more space I don't have
