    if you're buying it let me get a test ride on the Medium Arrival before you move most components over to that frame.

    Smuggler looks dialed.

    You thinking of sizing down?

    I’m very heavily leaning towards the Smuggler. Even after changing the tires and some cockpit items, the Arrival just doesn’t ‘feel’ quite right for me. Could be my riding style or positioning, but something isn’t jiving 100%.

    Smuggler looks pretty sick.

    Am I the only one who likes smaller wheels on long(er) travel bikes though?

    i saw the smuggler and briefly thought of selling my patrol, but i like the 27.5 with longer travel too. the smuggler would be a great all around bike, but im not sure if i would be stoked on it at a bike park.

    No doubt, those pants are super nice. I almost got a second pair around Christmas but they didn’t have any colors I liked in my size.

    I’m just curious on the feelings. Still need a Coldwater day. Kinda wish you’d have gotten the SP1 now bc I’d like those sweet looking wheels.

    I'd personally go Reeb SST..

    Man this smuggler would be perfect if they had a 36 up front and a set of carbon hoops.

    I was nearly set on a new Yeti SB140LR but now this Smuggler has my interest as it's probably a little more suited (travel wise) to what I ride the majority of.

    I thought I could come close to building a 140 (med frame) to about 30.5lbs. Smuggler looks like I can get to that weight as well.

    $3k for the Capra core 3, a carbon enduro bike with fox performance elite and sram GX sounds fake haha…I do want an enduro bike for the year though

    It's YT, I bought a bike from them before.

    You just can't beat their prices. YT is destroying everyone else on prices, the selling price is less than the components would be if you could find them on sale..
    It unbelievable.

    Such a deal, I have been eyeing this one for a while. I have a few hang-ups on the geo but at this price I'm tempted to just get one to try...

    They didn't win PB enduro of the year, but they did throw out the fastest time with one.

    Could be like Jack Moir..... without the broken hand
