Pros
Its agile, strong, and stiff. Great Parts spec.
Cons
Longish toptube. I'd like to see slightly slacker headtube angle.
Review
This is bike is the bollocks. It has a quick agility about it that will make it awesome for DS racing. The suspension is great and gives the bike versatility. Run two different wheelsets one set up for gears and another running a ss setup and keep an extra 8spd chain shortened to use the Eccentric BB and sliding rear dropout to their full extent. Overall parts spec is a great combination with pricepoint!

Review
I like it a lot. I ride everything on it but love jumps and freeriding. I always tell people I rather ride xc on a dj bike than ride dj on an xc bike
