54 rolls slower, is louder and wears quicker - but if you like engagement quicker than 10 degrees, Go for it.
Just pulled the trigger on an SB130. Stoked!!!

Yeah, that looks clean. Is that an option, or, did you just peel off all of the decals?

It comes that way. They gave me a sheet of decals that I probably will not apply.

This is pretty much the look on the entire line-up now. The graphics are on the top tube facing up...

Ride report: Wow!!!
So coming off my 26” stump jumper that weighs 26 pounds, I was really worried that it was going to take me a while to adjust to a bike that had longer travel and an additional 6 pounds.
Thankfully, not the case. I was climbing way more efficiently and shredding (my version) downhill. I thought it was a gimmick when everyone kept telling me this bike would make me a better rider. It just might.
12 miles and 2100 feet at Turnbull today.

6 lbs??!!!
. I jumped 3 lbs when I went from my 160-160 Tracer 27.5 to my 160-160 Megaplower 29er. I thought that was a lot - but it climbs much better than the Tracer on smooth moderate grades.So yeah, it's amazing how well these modern (post 2018 ish?) bikes climb. And Switch Infinity is not a gimmick - it's phenomenal. Maybe not as plush off the top as others, but so efficient everywhere in its travel whether accelerating, braking or landing the gnar.
