I'll have to back-to-back it with some other bikes, but with 42mm Soma Supple Vitesse tires the ride was a very nice blend of comfort, speed and precise handling. No problem picking lines between heavy roots/rocks, and on flat packed trails it really hauls. Went too far too fast, kinda limped back home, trashed my spindly little legs, but it hurt real good.

Got one more new one to ride/shoot before I have to knuckle under for CR Weekend prep...
