Now we don’t all live in the mountainous areas of the UK – Wales or Scotland. For the vast majority of us that don’t, the Rush could just be the perfect bike. It’s agile, fast and handles superbly thanks to absolutely spot–on geometry. The 110mm rear travel works deceptively well in flattening the trail buzz. If you ride plenty of forest singletrack, then this bike is ‘the one’.
