This is the first FS I have owned. I'm a college kid and don't have money to fling around. The bike handles flawlessly and keeps up with any other riders that I encounter on the trail
Pros Idrive works like a charm
Climbs like a mountain goat
Screams down hills like a raped Sasquatch
Cons Idrive needs tightening frequently
Lower end components
Upgrade the wheels and drivetrain, and you've got a solid performing bike. Good luck finding an upgraded fork.
Pros
Incredible rear suspension design is stiff when you want it, and opens when you need it.
