Excited to see what it'll feel like in the woods later, my Surly's have been the golden standard of comfort for me, my KM has plenty of nice bounce to it, the stiffest feeling is probably my Cross Check.I bet it rides softer than the surly. It can be a good but also a bad thing. Sometimes it´s better not to have choices.
