WEIGHT: Don't see a weight listed for this bike? Wondering why that is? Well, we used to list our weights based upon medium or 56 cm frame and err on the side of caution when we know there will be variances due to welds, paint thicknesses, etc. But some of our competitors are weighing their small or extra small frames and rounding down. Then you're left wondering what's going on and making important buying decisions based upon faulty information. That's not right.



So because weight is too important to you as a consumer, we encourage a healthy bit of skepticism over published weights. Go to your local dealer, see it, feel it, weigh it and test ride it for yourself. We're that confident. You should be, too.

Pros: Fantastic all mountain rig. Light weight meams that you drive up hill nearly as fast as your mates on there x country rigs. Descending is nothing less than extraordinary. A quantum leap better than any other all mountain rig today. Shorten the travel with 3 actions and away you go. To descend its the same in reverse. What makes it fantastic is you can do this whilst riding flat out and change it on the fly. Now can Canondale do the same for body armour :)

Cons: 10 speed. Gone through 3 chains in two months. What is the pont of fitting flimsy x country race gear to an all mountain rig. This rig is about being committed. You need a drive train that can live in the environment that this bike operates.

Recommendation: Great bike fantastic design. Step change in bike design. Shame about the drive train.
