| 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. |
