Not as much air as @Jamsxr but last week I cleared the doubles at the end of the Hope line at Gisburn. Haven't been that good at jumping in the past, but after a fair bit of video watching, going through the motions and building up I managed some controlled pops and landings. Was chuffed that I've also apparently set the suspension up correctly / was smooth enough so that the travel wasn't blown out.

Went on a bit of a mission to Whinlatter today. Awesome views.

I put thicker tyres on my Meta Power SX Signature 2020.

@Trickz , @Anzafin , @Duggan , Can anyone advise on how the polished finish is holding up on the SX Signatures? Is it difficult to maintain?
I have the 2021 29 Signature on order but seriously thinking about swapping to the SX Signature.

2020 Sx Signature finish is brushed aluminium and a clearcoat on it. So little scratches don't show up much, because the surface is already full of, well, scratches lol. I have had brushed aluminium wheels on my car for years, and they look great still. There are scratches on my bike and car alloy wheels, but the brushed finish hides them very well.

2021 Signature looks like it is only polished and not brushed, and therefore I am pretty sure it will show up scratches easily.

Thanks for the reply, my only real concern with this bike is it may not be easy to polish scratches out. Might take a chance anyway, it's just a bike at the end of the day.

I am sure it has a clearcoat on, so polishing wouldn't be a problem.
