Since we have a few Bird owners here, you guys may find their new release interesting:
120mm Aeris: http://singletrackworld.com/2016/08/the-new-bird-aeris-a-120mm-travel-fun-machine/

Short travel full sus seem to be all the rage this year. Looks nice, not for me though, well that and I have no money left for bikes
Off to Morzine on Wed! Such excitement.
Don't really have any interest in the 120mm version, but I do really like the Zero.AM.

because they make sense for about 90% of Uk trail centers / local routes
especially when implementing a two bike solution (the other being a downhill bike)
someone I know just tagged themselves as being in Morzine on facebook - sadface

Yep, I think I'd have more fun on most trail centers on my HT than I would on the Aeries. The Aeries is perfect for out here mind, the HT just wouldn't be enough.
HT/FS is a better combo than two FS bikes.
I have a Specialized Camber, pretty sure that's a 120. I love my Aeris waaaaaay more, but then it's a 26 vs 27.5 and geometry is different.
I don't think I'd ever get a 120 Aeris but OH might want one if it feels like a less travelly version of mine.
I just wish I could still ride a hardtail. I had a go of one when Ben (Pinnick) came up to Hamsterley a few weeks ago and it killed me. And I was only on it for about an hour.

I'm going to build mine back up for coming to the UK. It makes sense most places, leave the Aeris for the big stuff. Sadly unless I'm xc'n it in Cyprus. Any sort of trail would just be a killer on a HT, nothing is anywhere near smooth.
The A.M looks even better.
Solid - I just changed to ice tech rotors, and there quite different to the previous discs I had. But no doubt ss/Uber stuff will be fine.
But then anyone looking at a new bike should have their eyes on the new commencal! Wow.

bottom of Lesgets was like a ladder, the bike park bits ok though
plenny was pretty bad and bottom of zore, but top of zore / chatel / linderets was all good
ask Minnaar if he remembers riding the trails i used to dig at in winchester in Sprung 4 (about 2000)
I just avoided Les Gets after a couple of days, just unrideable. I rode a couple of off piste tracks in Morzine, I went down one so steep I literally had my brakes on the whole way down and sat on my rear tyre. Nigh on unrideable!
