As the title states I'm contemplating selling my Hydra. I paid $6,400 in June 2021 and it was delivered in late October 2021. I've put a little more than 700 miles on it since. Asking $5000 $4250.
Reason for selling is that with my weight (140lb) it's just a bit too much bike to wrestle with, given the type of riding that I have been enjoying the most has been flowy singletrack and jump park stuff, I have almost exclusively been riding my Santa Cruz Bronson. As you can see there's some dirt and a couple of scuffs here and there - yes I rode my bike and these things happen. Nothing major. About 100 miles ago I disassembled the motor and packed it with Mobil Unirex N2 grease (and a new gasket) to quiet it down a bit and promote longevity.
