Stif Squatch rewiew
I’ve ridden it for a year, so I’m writing a review.
I am 180cm tall and bought size M.
a little small for me
I imported the frame from England and assembled it myself.
Neither the head bearing nor the B B standard is special, so assembly wasn’t difficult if you have the right tools.
A dropper post can also be attached, but it is not attached this time.
At first, I was riding with 29 inches, but I changed it to mallet specification and tried it.
This was surprisingly easy to ride and was fun at the bike park
Stif Sqatch specification
Fork rockshox recon 130mm

Climbing
The seat tube is steep at 78°, so it’s easy to put effort into pedaling.
it’s a hardtail, click pedals are recommended on rough roads as your feet will be off the pedals.
tire is a 29×26-inch thick tire, I was riding with the front air pressure 1, 2 rear 1, 3 my weight 80kg.
Decending
When you go decending, monsters will appear.
The fork is only 130mm, but it doesn’t feel lacking
The thick
tires on the back absorb the shock, so the grip is perfect.
Click pedals are recommended on rough roads as the pedals and feet are separated.
good
I felt that it could be used as a cross-country bike with light wheels and tires.
The frame is made of steel, making it sturdy.
It can also be a full-suspension riding toy that wants stimulation.
cons
Not suitable for people who care about their weight.
