Hi Jack, I had an Optic for a long while and I absolutely loved it. The geometry wasn't so radical as the Spectral 125 but the suspension was incredible. Pedalled great but the control on tech terrain at speed was insane. I'd certainly say it was the more balanced, easier to set up bike all round and pricing is very good too. The only thing to watch for is wear at the main pivot on the carbon ones as that's what killed mine. Didn't notice a small amount of wobble (too busy rallying it) then next thing it's worn the frame so much it's unrepairable 😬
That looks like a proper weapon, could see myself riding that
nice vid, ordered mine and expecting it next week ... buzzin for it!
How is it?
Is it a good allrounder?
Thank you very much! What is the maximum size chainring that it can fit? Could it fit 34t? and 36t? Thank you very much!
Do you feel the bike is long? I'm 5'11" and 32" inseam. I'm a medium according to canyon website
can you run this mullet or 27.5?
Hi Guy , how does this compare to the Norco Optic ?
