Just want to share some pictures of the SST2 moment as its rare to see them as frame only.
Do let me know if you want specific info or pictures of it. I will be more than happy to find it for you as the frame will not be built any time soon. :cryin:
Finally had the time to weigh the frame. Its with RP23 shock but no headset or seatclamp .
My usual weighing scale was busted so...sorry for the unconventional method. :thumbsup:
was the blue Moment your previous bike? I have an older moment and am thinking about upgrading to the new SST2. Any thoughts on how they compare to the older versions?
Oops...I just saw your question! TBH, I am not clocking enough riding time to give a conclusion.
My initial impression with the new SST2 frame is that I can go down hills faster in a more controlled manner.
However, climbing seems to be tougher even though there are more traction - reasons could be, I haven't been riding and the slacker and higher (at least this is what i feel) headtube.
Other differences I found are - shorter top tube, a less responsive handling, a stiffer rear end and .....RC4 shock is not compatible with water bottle mount :madman:
Overall, the MK1 feels like a beefed up XC bike whereas the SST2 feels like a beefed up trail bike. I'm glad I upgraded from mk1 to SST2 as it suits my riding style better.
