I won this bike on a giveaway on another mtb site. I don't know that I'd have thought to go towards this mfg if it hadn't have been that I didn't have to pay anything. First things off the bat I added a shorter stem, and wider bars. I'm still trying to figure out this bike, but enjoy it more every time I take it out. I'll update my review when I've got more miles on it.
Pros Lighweight, Nimble, Great Handling, great looks. Fun
Cons Fork lockout is a little klunky.
After riding 720mm bars on my other bike, the 685mm provided were a little slim for my liking. The saddle was a little stiff, and didn't match the bike's color scheme, so I swapped it out for a Fizik Tundra3 (apparently previous years of this bike had this saddle, they should have stuck with it)
The 90mm stem was a little long, so I shortened to a 70mm stem.
The brakes work great, though for a bike that has XT components everywhere else, it's a little saddening to see that they opted for the cheaper deore brakes.
