steve bought a mod t'other week....and i had a good go.. we've both been riding stock for a good 3 years so it felt very small tis ALOT less effort riding natural (we both find), i think because you don't have to move as much (and it's lighter?)- makes riding 26 on rocks feel like you are driving a bus. i found smaller sidehops much less effort, but bigger ones just the same- but i may be a spacktard. wheelie hops take serious getting used to! on the 26 i have to really kick to get it up, but on the mod you'd go straight off doing that- it's all in body motion... summed up- it all feels weird to me cos i'm not used to it! steve'll probably come in here at some point..
