Demo'd the bike for a weekend. If you like riding all types of terrain fast it's a great bike. Very efficient and will save your legs so you can ride the really long, epic rides. Pedaling efficiency is great. This bike attacks and maintains momentum - especially transitioning from bomber descent to climbs. Great for varied and flowy terrain.
Pros Fast, efficient, light (26lb large w/ easton haven wheels) and nimble.
For intended purpose, this is a superb ride. Great XC characteristics with 120mm travel as a bonus.
Pros
Great climbing; very balanced; quick handling for tight single track. 120mm travel is great. Only had it 3 months but very pleased.
Cons
| ThankSome creaks -- need to maintain. Be careful of fit. Better cable routing.
Fantastic do-it-all 29er trail bike that can lean towards the XC and towards the AM as well. Stay tuned for my write up on the blog.
Pros
Awesome suspension, super versatile, very light
Cons
