Hey mate..i have now emtb giant reign e+ 2023 (160mm front fork) The bike is 26kg. I can do manual? Very heavy..,i now very good the tecnic of manual...but feel heavy. I make a 60% from the balanc point. Thanks guy 38, 80kg.
I can wheelie as long as i like and can sit down manual, just slightly touch rear brake and sit right on the balance point but can't do it for long standing up! Frustrating!
Working back brake is good to have, i once manualed over pudle with some speed ( maybe 20km/h), realised that my back brake doesn't work thay good and looped over, luckily my backpack broke the fall😅 And that was one my most successful manuals ever😁

One of our guys who struggled with manuals did use one and he noticed results! Not to say that same effort spent outside would have been different results, but when it’s 20 degrees outside and snowing, it makes practice easier. Haha
Here's the truth for you I was in the gay bay better known as San Francisco and we seen quite a few mountain bikers on bikes with no seat just the pole WTF
When I got my first 29er I couldn't manual and cased most jump I was used to, so I got back to a 27.5 for 4 years complaining how 29er were shit. Humans 😂
Long chainstays dont make it easier. You really have to yank and get back. And on a full sus you have to sort of sink your heels in as you pull. But no matter what bike, its a balance between the front wheel and your butt. Stick that booty out and drop it low!
