What a machine. We were amazed after the first test rides in Latsch and the subsequent use on Lake Garda. The smooth-running Jabula smoothes out even the nastiest rumble trails and literally sticks to the ground. Sensitive, forgiving and never at the limit, it tops the downhill rankings. No wonder, the specially tuned suspension from BOS with the new Kirk damper is not stingy with travel. However, it is not just the quantity but also the quality of the suspension travel that is impressive. No annoying bottoming out, sufficient feedback from the ground and awesome traction. The only limiting factor here is the tyres. To maximise the bike's potential, we had to upgrade to a softer rubber compound and more stable carcasses. In the version supplied, the long-stroke Morewood remains just under 13 kilos and has very light wheels. The geometry and cockpit as well as the switchable platform on the shock leave nothing to be desired for this area of use.
ConclusionThe ideal choice for fast, rough downhills on Lake Garda. With a more solid tyre choice even further up the rankings.
