Rode it again this morning with shock pressure reduced by about 20 lbs and fork pressure down 10. Much plusher on the small hits but still firm for pedaling. I was so impressed by this bike I took it on the paved bike up a steep climb in the open shock position and just stood and hammered on it. Just barely get some pedal Bob but really just an awesome ride. Changed it to trail position and you can barely tell it's a full squish. The bike in their 5 star build is heavy. Just at 29.5-30lbs based on my bathroom scale. The SC Tallboy was 27-28. Not sure you could get the Mayhem below 27 without going full weight weenie. Not sure it matters that much. I'm going to call the Spot guys and see what an xtr with 1500-1600 gram carbon wheels comes out at. I don't think it matters but being a roadie at heart I just want to less than 28lbs.
