Looks a beast - is it hugely different in ride to the Moonlander?

Well this one is fast like a 29er but has good traction and comfort like a fatbike but with a good 6-7lb less weight....it's unlike anything I have rode before!

Read Gils report - seems like you've both stumbled across the Swiss Army Knife of the bike world

have to say I'm impressed. What height are you and what size frame did you get? I got an El Mariachi last year in XL and wish I had got an L, I'm 6'3".

I'm 6ft and 32" inside leg, opted for next size down than other bikes and went for a medium, perfect fit.

The wheels are bigger than normal 29er bikes so I wanted more space.

Had the rear wheel away to be redone, wasn't happy with it, running mint now though

6-7lbs less weight?! Is it really THAT MUCH lighter?

saltyman · Mar 10, 2013

Yeah the moonlander is usually 35-36lbs spending on spec and krampus is 29lb

They do seem to compliment each other well, which is the most fun though ?

saltyman · Mar 10, 2013

Full fat is always more fun.....brings out the kid in me every time.
