It’s Fat Albert. When Leif reviewed the 25th anniversary Yeti 575 for Issue 41 (out in May) he was so impressed with the Schwalbe Fat Alberts that came spec’d on it that we thought they would be perfect for the Butcher and a good long term test. We only had the Yeti for 6 weeks and in the dry, so heading into winter on these tyres should be pretty interesting. Once Leif puts the rubber on the Butcher it will be trail ready, although we’ll be changing the brakes out mid-May for the real long term testers (but more on that later).

Sram/RockShox – May 27th, 2022
Our new suspension started from a blank sheet of paper. We set everything aside and started with one question: how can we continue to elevate every ride? The result is a revolutionary system designed
to deliver unprecedented control, muscle, and performance. New chassis designed with industry-first damper technology, reinvented air springs, a host of new technologies to mute trail chatter and win the fight against friction. Suspension that has the confidence to meet the demands of riders today and empower them to take the sport somewhere new tomorrow.
