New article on the Synonym https://www.mbr.co.uk/reviews/full-suspension-bikes/ns-synonym-tr-2
Do other notice the following on the Carbonda?
Yes, the balanced riding position slows everything down so you have more time to think, but this just lets you focus more on how ineffective the rear suspension is. Not only does it lack the sensitivity needed to track terrain, the rebound damping is super-slow even when set to the fully open position.
That's something I'd be interested in as well!
There has been another review on
bikeperfect.com and they say the frame is quite flexy and not very stiff, is that the superlight version or are they using the normal version for the TR model?
Planning to get a new bike for next year and this one made it onto my shortlist. I've come to the conclusion that the size XL would be the right choice for me (asked NS what they would suggest for 187cm and 89cm inseam and that's what they told me).
One of the remaining questions for me is rear travel, how much travel does this bike really have with a 42.5mm stroke shock? Carbonda say it's 100mm with a 40mm shock, NS get 120 out of 42.5mm stroke length, is it all down to the different rear triangle? Is the FM936 somewhere in between?
Thanks for your help!
