| Pros | Super stiff, light, and responsive. I just finished my first ride on it and liked it so much that I just had to leave a review for others. I haven't been on a hardtail for 6 years and I can say I'm very happy with my choice of going back to a hardtail not only because of the efficiancy of this bike but also how stiff it is while climbing. I've ridden Trek Fuel, BMC Stroke 1, Giant XTC, and Cannondale Scalpel and this Blue kills them all in my book. | | Cons | Not available in very many locations, had to special order it and then wait as Blue was out of stock. Also it has attachment points for rear V Brakes ; \ like anyone will actually go back to V Brakes to save the 100 grams. | | Verdict | Comes with Reba Shock, SRAM X 9, V Force FSA Cranks, and Mavic Wheels. Not to bad for 3,000 bucks. I'd recommend this bike to any of my friends, as long as they were an experienced rider. This bike is not intended for comfort, speed is the number one factor here. |
