I saw a Torque:ON in the flesh last weekend out on the trails and got to take a seat on it (size L) - the Large felt good and at 185cm (6'1") tall its in my size range. Love the look of the Torque:ON. The Strive is just too chunky for me.
For those who have the Torque:ON how do you find it for...

So I am pretty convinced by the Mullet set up. I am 6'1" but prefer the slacker head angles esp on steeper trails.
What do I need to to set this up properly as you have described as I just stuck a 27.5 and shorter cranks on. What offset bushings and size of shock would I need?
Cheers.
No one interested? Open to offers as I have new hemet and won't be wearing this again. Need it out the house.
It genuinely has been worn only once and is as new.

@CrispyDesigns I know you from the KTMForum - have bought 2 sets of graphics kits for my motos from you. I sold my 250 XC-F last year as I was spending all my time on the eMTB.
I too have a Rise :)
I have Mulleted my Rise H15 and have left the shock as standard.
Fork has upgraded internal to 160mm and I put 155mm cranks on it. I love the Slack Geo the bike has now. On the off piste stuff I ride in the Tweed Valley have had almost no pedal strikes since replacing the 170mm cranks to 155mm...
I have the 155 Miranda Cranks on my Rise now - arrived in 3 days. Can't fault them and they are my third set from Miranda as used them on other bikes,. Cheap and work well :)
Really like the 155 length - not had a single pedal strike.
Want to upgrade the forks on our gen 1 LSL, it currently has Fox 34 Rhythms which can't keep up in the off piste stuff we ride in the Tweed Valley. Want to go 160-170.
Was thinking a Lyric or Fox Float 36 - would I get away with 170 or should I stick to 160?
I was looking about for second hand SLs out of interest earlier today and you can but an entire bike for £2.5k - value seems to have dropped as Specialized were punting them out in the sales before they released the new bike. Alpine Bikes at GT was selling their demo fleet SLs with full warranty...
Thanks, I am actually doing it the opposite way. The 27.5 wheel I have is 6 a bolt hub and I have a 6 bolt rotor without magnet - so gonna stick a magnet to it to see if I like the mullet :)
@Murphius My Rise has centre locks - I want to try a 27.5 wheel that has a 6 bolt rotor on the rear that I have spare, don't want to buy any new discs as I have a 6 bolt one lying around so sticking a magnet to it sounds like a good plan.
What dimension was the magnet that you used, and where...
It's a non issue actually, I rode a load of steep off piste trails at Glentress at the weekend and the saddle was never in the way once.
Money would be better spent on shorter cranks :)
Resurrecting this post, I have an XL rise. I am 6' 1.5" and was advised by the shop I bought the bike from to buy the XL. Swithered a bit between L and XL.
Anyway I have the XL now and it fits me great, but sometimes on steep stuff I would like the saddle a bit lower. If the OneUp will drop the...
No probs, I went through the exact same issues. I read a load of horror stories on Snowheads about ACL injuries and the high failure rate of ACL surgery.
Took a ski friend who had snapped his MCL to come round to explain the benefits of physio and how you can survive post injury.
As @Jimbo...
