Pros After 1 year of riding I still Love this bike.It is completely confidence inspiring and makes me feel like I'm a 35 year old rider again. I'm 61. I bought the frame with Fox Evol Kashima Rear Shock, Custom Build XT 11-46 drivetrain and Race Face 28T. Carbon 41mm Outer 36mm Inner Wheelset w/ DT 350 CL Hubs. Schwalbe 2.8 Nobby Nic Front and Rocket Ron 2.6 Rear, Fox 34 Talas 2017 150mm-120mm. What I love. 1. Traction both up and downhill. Climbs amazing, rollover for days. 2. Incredibly stiff rear triangle with double stays and updated Lower VPP pivot. 3. It destroys downhills and allows you to take any line down 4. Took about 100 miles to get really used to 51mm offset. Amazing now! 5. This bike is Stable, stable, did I say stable.
Cons 1. Gold Paint on 2 tone brown/gold paint chips too easily.
2. Not a fan of press-fit BB on any bike
Buy this and ride it you will have no regrets
