Very happy w/ my purchase. Got back into trail riding after a brief hiatus. The Dragonslayer is a great trail bike that handles well in multiple riding conditions in Michigan. The 27 tires grip well and provide an impressive level of traction. Bike is a bit heavier in the rear and thus a bit slow on climbs. I love the geometry of the bike that still allows an aggressive but more upright riding position.
Only real CON is the Recon fork. It's a bit bouncy but the 27 tires do provide additional damping. Beyond this, a great purchase for an every day rider - a great value for the cost.
