Have achieved my analog nirvana. Mini-Megatower. All day trail rides or chasing my from down the park it has done it all. And zero issues. Loved the Revel but pivots were a train wreck in the noise department

    I just did this as well! Mini-megatower for sure!

    I demoed the HT3 last weekend, and it felt much more of a successor to the Bronson 1 than it does to the HT1! A 160/150 upgrade would make it feel even more of a 29” Bronson successor (I’ve got my B1 setup 160/150).

    Pretty impressive traction and a well balanced pedal friendly sled that likes to boost. (Not endless infallible traction like the Spire, but still really good for a bike that is much more agile than the Spire.) I personally felt the HT3 to be more well balanced than the Sentinel - which I think enters into corners faster and is easier to throw the rear wheel around, but is also more wheel floppy / wandering while pedaling. HT3 vs current Sentinel comes down to stylistic choices in how you ride I think.
