First ride today. VERY different than the 2015 Scott Spark 700 Ultimate I have been riding for the past 10 years. After I turned 50 I was looking for a bit more plush. Took me a 1/2 hour to figure out that this thing will just plow over most of what I encounter on my local single track trail. The extra 10lbs of weight is noticeable on climbs but not as much as I had anticipated. Rear shock tech has come along way in 10 years. First time riding a dropper and it will take a few more rides for me to get it 100% figured out. Overall very satisfied.
