Pros	Light weight, super stiff, bottomless travel(at speed), pedels like a bike half its travel, phenomenaly well poised in and especially out of tight berms, naturally very quick. It looks WIERD. i like it but you might not, you will get some funny looks though.
Cons	small amout of feedback near the bottom of its travel, but this doesnt seem to affect balance, The rear can be a little too light and can scuttle about behind in corners. a bit too World Cup for a lot of uk trails, just kinda munches them a bit too easily.
Verdict	i found that running the HS rebound on the rear very slightly slower than i would normally countered the bikes tentency to slip around. overall this is the fastest dh bike i've owned.
