…and yes it does handle nicely (even with the tyres as they are!).
Reminds me a lot of a 2009 Orange P7 I used to have.
Have always regretted selling that frame and this feels like it’s spiritual successor.
Actually thinking about it they were a similar spec.
Both had an XT drivetrain and Hope XC but the P7 had Reba’s (still living on but now attached to a Yeti ARC)…I could bore you with all the small differences but who cares!
Short version is they both ride nice albeit not the lightest.
