Do not hesitate to try this bike, if you are considering an EPIC, Flux, or similar.
Pros This is a quick-handling, light-weight bike which is well-suited to XC use. Climbs and accelerates very well. No issues or reliability problems. Mine is a 2005, which I purchased from RaceFace in MD last December; a very good deal. I could not be any happier, more bike that I will ever need.
Cons Just a little light on the front end when climbing, but I have riser handle-bars, so maybe flats would help. Bike came with Continental tires, which I changed for WTB Exiwolfs for more traction.
Get one any year!
Pros
