VF2 Review in the UK
Here's a review we got in the UK. They basically loved everything about the bike, but wanted differing geometry; namely a slacker HA and lower BB. Some of the juicy parts:
"The bike oozes attention to detail, with the asymmetrical chainstays, full “Enduro” cartridge bearing pivots and anodised bolts throughout. The quality of the construction and paintwork is high, with a number of colours available including anodized finishes. The Chumba logo headbadge is a particularly nice touch."
"This combined with the active rear end meant the VF2 ate up bumps and with plenty of low speed compression added in there wasn’t too much bobbing and bouncing when climbing uphill. The back end never felt too far out of its depth on rough, high speed trails or in the braking bumps."
"The build quality, suspension action and chassis “feel” was first class and if you’re a fan of bikes such as the Yeti 575 and “All Mountain-y” Santa Cruz bikes, then you’ll feel more at home with the geometry and sizing."

I'm not sure I necessarily agree about the geometry comments as the VF2 uses identical geometry as the XCL (which has been well-received world-wide), but I understand people's tastes can differ and evolve. Well, it's a good thing we are planning to produce replaceable links for the VF2 to suit those tastes as well. I aim to have some in the next 6 weeks.
