I ride the Overdrive Comp for my hardtail and it is a great bike for the money. Especially considering it’s on sale for 749.99 on DB website right now. I liked the 1×11 setup better on the Overdrive compared to the Hook 1×8 or 1×9 depending on what year Hook you were looking to purchase. These bikes are definitely more XC type bikes and would do great for the Singletrack but less than ideal for the downhill. The only thing I have changed on my Comp is converting to tubeless and everything else still works great after a year of riding. Hope this helps and good luck with the new bike.
