Thanks for the info. Central Florida is a 50/50 mix of short punchy climbs with similar descents. From your opinion it sounds like the YT is more of a downhill product. Most of the reviews I read said it was confident on the descent and equally impressive on the climb (paraphrasing). The elite level Fox products paired with a carbon frame for 3200 sounded like an amazing deal. At least better than most other comparable bikes for the same price range. But the bike does have to climb really good since a good chunk of my riding will be flat or climbs.
