Now I love my Inbred. In a manly sort of way you understand.

It’s a great frame, comfortable and with the Marzocchi Marathon S forks it’ll look after me on anything I try. However, 100mm of travel isn’t enough for some people!

This is Simon’s Inbred with RockShox Pike’s wound out to 140mm of travel. I’m not sure what Brant would have to say about that and I suspect the warranty is well void but Simon reckons it’ll help him keep up with the Enduro Boys in Morrzine this Summer and who am I to argue!

He does actually wind it down a little for going up hills!!
