Awesome (2011 version)
Rating:
The Good: Climbs extremely well, Propedal works very efficiently with the FSR suspension, Decends incredibly, ISCG tabs, the fork can be internally lowered to 140 or 130. Has cable guides for a dropper post. The XL weighs in at 31.25lbs. Despite what I expected with white grips, they clean very well.
The Bad: Not really much, comes with X5 shifters which I promptly replaced with some X7's, but only because I had some extras. I'm sure the X.5s would've handled fine
Overall: Climbs well. This is the most underrated bike out there. I'd put this up against any 3-4 grand bike any day. Since my riding style caters more to the downhills, The 90mm stem was a bit awkward when I wanted to manual or jump so I put a 40mm on it and now it's perfect.
Upgrades so far:
X7 shifters
40mm Hussefelt Stem
Funn Fatboy Bar (same dimensions as the Specialized one, but it's stronger and lighter despite it being a freeride bar)

Great Part
Rating:
The Good: Lightweight, Inexpensive(compared to other hollow cranks), looks good
The Bad: Not a very good finish, machine work isn't flawless. Then again neither am I. However I am not selling myself.
Overall: Definitely worth the investment.
