Loved the climbing ability

A pocket rocket, every nudge on the pedals means Go! If the ups are more important than the downs, you want a smooth ride over moderate terrain and have the skill to move when the terrain gets chunky, this is your bike. It wants to go fast. Most of the fun, point it at most anything personality of a trail bike, but far lighter and more maneuverable. Most of the speed of a true cross country racer, without the twitchy steering. Sound fun? The Ryve may be your bike. Way different than a Yeti SB115, which feels slower, but plusher. Honestly, this feels as efficient as my hardtail while climbing, but without getting shaken like a hardtail either up or down.

Spot Ryve 115

This is an amazing bike. It climbs very efficiently, is a blast on the downhills, and is just fast everywhere. This is the first full suspension bike I've had that climbs like a hardtail, plus it is just a blast to ride. The details are really well thought out on this bike and Andrew and his team are wonderful to deal with. I've ridden a ton of endurance races and this should be at the top of your list to consider. It's great to support local companies like Spot and the service level is fantastic.

Green Mountain

I demoed the Spot Ryve 115 on Green Mountain, just a few miles away from Spot's corporate headquarters in Golden, CO. The ride started with a climb, which, initially, sold me on the bike. It is a spectacular climber! There was no noticeable pedal-induced bob in the rear suspension. The trail was dry with intermediate levels of chunky rocks. The Ryve's rear tire never lost traction. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm erupted near the peak, and I quickly had to make my way down the mountain. This involved taking a lesser-groomed trail down. Perhaps it was the headtube angle or my lack of confidence on an unfamiliar bike or the unintentional trail's angle of descent, but descending felt "twitchy" to me. Having lots of saddle time with an Ibis Ripley v4, I immediately missed its descending prowess. In my opinion, if the Ryve 115 were to slacken its head tube angle by 0.5 degrees, this bike would be an unbeatable trail bike. I recommend it if climbing is your thing, but there are better bikes for descending.

Amazing!

I did a demo ride On a weekend and it was a wonderful experience. I was able to pick up the bike Friday afternoon and drop it off Monday morning and got to ride it two different times.

The experience was so much better than I expected. The bike climbed so well and is so soft on the descents. I’ve trended toward hardtails and faster, lighter bikes and this was still just over 25 pounds and handled so well and yet soaked up the bumps on the trail amazingly well.

I loved it so much I placed an order the following week!
