First look at the Clutch

NSMB a taking a first look at the Opus Clutch.

" Last summer while on vacation in Nelson, I had the opportunity to try out Opus’s “Nelson” (I’m not making this up). I was pretty impressed and it made me curious about the rest of their line. Opus sent out a 2011 Clutch for testing this spring. "

" The Clutch has also proven an able climber so far, but the tall front end combined with the light fork makes for some front wheel wandering on steep climbs. However, with some weight shifting, the Clutch motors up technical descents and settles in on longer climbs well. "

" I'm quite pleased with this bike so far.  I've got plenty of time to put the Clutch through its paces. Once I'm done you'll be hearing from me again.  "

Want to take a first look at the 2011 Opus Nelson bike?

Read the review on the Trailburn website and make you own opinion.

" Enter the 2011 Opus Nelson series. With 2 bikes deep, the 1 and the 2 cater to both enthusiast and even professional riders, each kit using the same frame and floating pivot suspension technology with 7 inches of travel and a 66 degree head-angle to provide a happy medium of ascension and descent. We have built up our 2011 Opus Nelson 2 tester and are excited of a bike that can bring us joy no matter where we find ourselves riding. "

" Just from building it and having a close look at the parts spec and the quality of craftsmanship and putting quality where it counts is important here. Bonus that they are a Canadian brand and making a solid effort to enter the freeride/do-it-all category of mountain biking. "
