Is anyone running ashima rotors? Or any feedback?

I can feel the brain. Geometry is awesome, still playing with rebound and air pressure. I PRed everything up and down my local route.

Looks great! Is that 110mm front and rear? I was just wondering if they’d make a longer travel Spark with the RC geometry.

Just wanted to add my bike to the conversation. I received this back in February and absolutely love it. It’s not a double black trail type of bike, but it’s perfect for the trails I regularly ride and for the XC racing that I do.

Love that paint job. Good looking bike

Does anyone have any idea when the Pinkbike XC field test is supposed to drop?

They teased it ages ago but still not a peep even though all of their test bikes have been announced and available for a while.

Can’t remember for sure, but a episode ago or so, I think one of the Mike’s mentioned he is testing a bike that he couldn’t talk about yet. I wonder if it’s an XC bike under embargo that they intend to include in the tests?

So, no real answer for you other than I think it might be waiting on a yet to be released product in the category.

Theres rumours of a sb100 v2 coming out also. Between that and the spark not officially announced until September I’d say it’ll be a minute yet before we see anything like that.

On Monday, it’s on their Instagram

I love that bike and paint job. My two closest XC racing friends are on the same whip and they love it. I’m on it too but the SRAM version. Yours looks amazing, congrats.
