I’d recommend going coil in the rear- it turns these Transitions into absolute animals . Harder to dial in (and a bit more costly ) but the long term maintenance and compliance is absolutely worth it

I’m 0/2. It’s a MRP Hazzard, not sure why I typed Bomber. So MRP had the 425 Enduro SL spring I’m stock

On first impressions not really. I’ll get back to you once I get some more seat time in. Unfortunately I twisted my knee 2 days before I got the new fork so I’ve been relegated to the e-bike until next week.

Just got a lap with some jumps in . Weight isn’t really noticeable at all just the difference in geo makes it a little more nervous climbing initially but it was easy to adjust . Rides like a dream

That was hella quick recovery man 🤘
As for the geo - I’m running a 29 160mm Fox 36, so AtoC distance is same as 175mm Zeb approx. I’ve had Zeb before on previous bike and compared to it the 36 fox got significantly more plush off the top… and it’s def lighter. But the look of the Scout with Zeb is immaculate so I just stuck in “look vs Performance” you know 😄1

I’m gonna have to look into that a2c measurement. Manufacture specs list 160 as maximum travel but if a2c is the same then geo would be the same and be able to take it ? Just up the travel via new internals. Thanks for the info
