Description: (from santacruzmtb.com)

Cons Pivots tend to make noise early on and need to be serviced. Verdict A great bike that handles great, it still can do many tight technical stuff as well as get gnarly.. Recommended for: Experienced XC riders reviewed by aabiking   on August 8, 2007   Pros This bike is setup for some fun downhill technical trails. It will eat up bumps, roots, rocks, and drops of five four feet like they are not there. I believe it will do bigger drops but I have yet to attempt any because the trails I mainly ride do not offer them. As soon as I encounter a drop upto seven feet I will try it without hesitation. The climbs are a little more dificult than on my cannondale but that was to be expected. They were actually better than what I had expected. There was no bobbing what so ever when I was seated and actually less when standing than on my Jeykle. Cons None Yet. Only had the bike for 5 days. Verdict This is a great bike for the all around trail rider that wants to have a lot of fun. It is a little pricey when you start picking the higher end forks, shock, and build kit. Overall I love my bike. Recommended for: Anyone
