That is pretty cool. I’m definitely looking at that as a potential next bike (the 135). having the option to essentially change it to a light trail or a heavy enduro is pretty sick. Basically this Vs YT Jeffsy at this point.
I like this swap-out model quite a lot, provided the swap-out maintains the bike's liveliness and the process itself is quick and easy. Fortunately, the Arktos ticks those boxes nicely.
Haven't ridden the Jeffsy yet , but it looks very cool, too. I've ridden the Arktos in all three of its configurations; the 150 is my favorite, and it even does well on rugged trail rides because it climbs better than you'd think for a long-travel bike. The 135 setup was ideal for Moab rippin', too.
Recorded, but I believe Alchemy updated the bike, so it may not be relevant anymore. I'll get my hands on the updated bike and do a review of that one!
Cool idea. I like the idea of a downcountry bike that isn't built super light. My trails eat bikes. What color is this bike? It's hard to tell from their website what the color really looks like.
Looking forward to the 120 and 150 reviews
Cool idea, I'd love to have two bikes, but it's easier to sneak the conversion kit into the garage than a new bike.

Pretty cool execution. Where is the 150 Enduro review?

It's sort of a cement gray. It looks way cooler in person!
