Pros: True do it all bike Light enough for an AM rig Fantastic geometry Tough as old boots! Can easily be convrrted into a DH sled Full length cables Stable in mid air - well balanced

Cons: Could be a tad lighter Some of the cable routing is asking for trouble as it rubs on the frame Paint finish is shocking, wore through on the first proper ride! Get the anodised version!!! Some pedal feedback when crossing chainlines Takes a while to set up suspension right

Recommendation: A great bike that i love to own. Taken it all round the world on many mtb holidays and it always delivers! Climbs with the best of them and dominates on the descents!!!
