I only have 100mm travel so not really able to go to crazy on it, doesn't help am big boned haha. To replace mine it's insuranced for 7.2k, more than my car is worth haha. I tried out loads before buying mine some bikes just didn't feel right, just wanted off as soon as I got on them.
This year got a cheap roadie for fitness and am liking it just this weather sucks.

Not the best picture but got an Orange Alpine 160 that I built up, 160mm travel fox front and rear. SLX groupset, ice tech brakes, dropper post, tubeless tires... She's a beast!

I hear that mate, I can't be assed with slick tyres in the winter, esp. if you use cycle paths... Dark nights, Wet leaves, dogs off leads, etc etc... Its one of the reasons I got back into mountain biking for the winter., grip :). I do love getting out on a crisp cold dry day for a blast though, nothing like the speed of a light bike with slicks after humping around a 30lb+ slack angle MTB.
We're doing Snowdon this December so I need to get on top of the cardio again, hmm. :)

Yes mate kmc goldie looking chain!
The chameleon is an amazing bit of kit, climbs well and can handle the downhill, everyone who rides it loves it! I'm more road these days tho
