    Just a tad out price range ?? Yes I’ve checked both the throne 6.7 and the Merida 500 The specs on that throne for what you can get other bikes for is quite base budget as to is the Merida. The sad thing about the Merida, the series before wasn’t to poorly spec’d for its price point, hell it’s...

    I’m 6’1” (183cm) And it just felt like a lot of bike, unlike the Merida & the Norco, they feel like a bike I could scull drag around anything

    Focus jam2 6.8 plus compatible with 29” wheels?

    The answer is YES you can run 29’ers on the front and back, I was looking at the bike in shop today and the Fox fork has the 27.5 - 29 sizing written in it and the little gizmo what ever it is at the back can be flipped

    2020 Jam2 6.8 Nine/6.7 Nine
