Mt. Nebiso Dec.23

It's chilly in the morning at the bottom of the Mt. Nebiso. It is 2℃ at the meeting point. After autumn color season ended, mountains turn to winter color.
We four riders are going to Mt. Nebiso. The regular route is 12km on pavement, 4km on logging road, Passing the peak of Mt. Nebiso, downhill, XC, enduro trail, back to the starting point at Hyakunenso. We usually start at 9 am and finish at about 2 pm.
My friend's 2012 Morewood Sukuma.
Morewood Sukuma adopts carbon rear stays. I felt that Sukuma has high stiffness and no squat when pedalling. Sukuma has not only a characteristic that sticks to the ground  but moves forward of six-inch-travel Split Pivot suspension of Dave Weagle. Another my friend has Devinci Dixon. Dixon has the same suspension system of Split Pivot but it has different character. How impressive of different character of the same Split Pivot!

Before my bike was DW Link Turner 5 Spot. Iron Horse bikes have DW Link at that time. Comparing DW Turner 5 Spot to Iron Horse Mk III,  they are also different taste. It is interesting...
My friend's Dabomb Cherry Bomb with Fox 36 Talas Kashima.
That' all for today.
