Pros: I personally own the previous year which are essentially the same minus the paint. This bike climbs great and soaks up hits well...Once the suspension is set up just sit and climb no bobing

Cons: The flat colour paint scuffs easy

Recommendation: This bike just like its brother the Stakh comes well equiped and rides great...Good value for the money. It can take quite a bit of punishment and you will find your self challanging your own skills to match this bike.
