Ventana El Rey - 29er: Ride Impression
It was late in the day and the trails were finally starting to get a glimpse or two of shade after the brutal long and hot sunny day. To much sun and heat and my ass was getting sore after 30+ miles of doing demo’s. Ouch! Better than the one poor fellow who took a head digger earlier in the day, not a pretty sight to see his head wound oozing blood, ugh.
Anyway, to the ride! The El Rey felt very comfortable. It was like an old comfortable friend that was easy to hang out with. Kind of like one of those friends you haven’t seen in years and after a few minutes it’s like,they had never left. What I really liked about this bike is that it was a spirited sprinter, it liked to be stomped on, and you could really stand up and punch the pedals and haul. It also had great steering, wherever you pointed it went. This was a very carefully thought out bike and the frame was strong and well made.
The El Rey was equipped with a Fox F29 100 fork, Kenda Nevegals and a nice basic build. I love the 60 flavored color names Cosmic Orange and Electric Super Dust along with the “Electric Sex” TIG welds. I rode their 17 inch frame.
