I have the 2008 model and I've been pounding the s**t out of this bike for the past 2 years and it still performs like when I bought it. Comes with an awesome bunch of parts(full XTR line-up) and the frame seems to still be rigid despite the abuse I've put it through. I would deffinately recommend buying this if you have an extra seven grand laying around and you're deep in to the mountain biking scene. :)
Pros It weighs almost nothing,it's rigid,great components,climbs like there's no tomorrow
Cons can't think of any but if I were to complain about something it'd be the price
I love this frame. Was a pleasure building a bike around it.
Pros
Nice, light, attractive.
Cons
| ThankThe very unique 1.25" stem size. Easily changed to 1.125" with new upper bearings.
