Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by Nevada_29er   on November 19, 2008   Pros Quality frame, no flex or reliability issues. Cons HT is too steep, handles twitchy with the fork set at 80mm. Frame is heavy. Too many bonty components. Verdict Not a bad bike for all around trail riding. Rough and technical trails will overwhelm the bike. With some component upgrades, I got my XL down to 27.5 lbs.
