But loved the 150. I do not think a one quiver bike exists so why not go more travel with the 150 and keep my hardtail? That is the decision I am coming to since I still really enjoy the feel of a hardtail but want more travel for certain rides or even days/moods.
At first you don’t expect much from a rather short travel bike, but this blew me away. With a history in downhill and enduro racing, I’m used to much more travel than 130mm, but while riding this bike I never felt like I needed more. The bike is astonishingly playful, agile and actually lightweight. Climbing is the same story, it handles tight and technical climbs like a beast.
Best climbing bike I’ve ever been on. It rolled over technical rocky climbs with ease and was very forgiving with line choice keeping you balanced. The bottom bracket is well positioned eliminating pedal strikes. On descents it was very smooth over technical terrain giving you confidence on the downhill sections. It gives you an amazing ride. I’ve been able to demo many bikes such as Ibis, Pivot, Specialized, Yeti, Santa Cruz, Cannondale, and the Spot Mayhem is awarded the top spot. You have to pedal this bike to experience the difference. I highly recommend this bike!
The new Spot Mayhem 130 is a beautiful bike that is an improved version of what was already a great bike! I have a lot of time on the original Mayhem and it was a super bike worthy of all of the praise it got online. But the new design is an improvement in many ways. First it is stunning to look at the design and design details, you just want to stare at it. The bike is stiff, quiet, very small bump compliant, and it was stable going fast and lively and maneuverable going slow. I was very confident riding up steep technical sections of trail that I was unfamiliar with and I felt like I could really let it just go flying downhill. Climbing on the bike felt familiar - these Spots just want to go up hill and somehow work to help you with each pedal stroke. Climbing up steep sections was easy, just pedal and enjoy! The old Mayhem was really good at all of the things we seek in our bikes, but the new Mayhem just shows that bike designers, and Spot in particular, are making better products for us all to enjoy. Well done - grand slam! If you are looking for a bike, you will want the Mayhem after you have seen and ridden it - you watch it's going to win a lot of awards.
I took the bike on an extended uphill climb and it did great. I had more energy and didn't have to stop as much on the way up as I usually do- I attribute this to the great peddling platform the Mayhem has. Coming down was also a blast, very smooth and controlled- I was able to let it rip on some chunky parts and the suspension soaked up every hit.
Overall- a great ride!
