“For all types of tracks”

The Good: Lightness
Comfort
Equipment
Price

The Bad: Headset without sealed bearings
It misses a rear shock with more adjustment options.

Overall Review:

It is a semiprofessional cycling, you can climb to the top of the mountain and then down where no one does. The pitch is defended better on descents, its geometry and its center of gravity makes it very stable in cornering and rough terrain, thanks to its 150 mm of rear travel, even if you decide to go into a bike park, enjoy as a child . In short if you want a fun bike, high performance, with good equipment and cheap, this is a good option.

“Ride it all bike”

The Good: It compensates well for a rider lacking finesse! Confident. More than the sum of its parts. Great fun.

The Bad: It can't work miracles! Suspension has workman like damping and control.

Overall Review: It climbs up steep mountain passes, descends like a demon, handles rock strewn trails, bogs, drops, slabs and a fair few knocks. If you haven't for 4 grand for a 4 grand bike and can accept some compromises this will do everything the same.
Slack head is great for the drops and the seat tube is steep enough for the climbs.
The kit isn't fancy but incremental upgrades will only improve it. I've had mine almost a year and the bottom bracket, hubs and freewheel have succumb to bogs, rivers, rain and mud. Its showing some battle scars but the finish is holding up well.

“brilliant!!!!”

The Good: everything, it climbs like a monkey, comes down like a ball
geometry is spot on!

The Bad: forks!! ok if your 12stone or below but i'm a big lad and they bobbed a lot,
upgraded to marzzochi 55's 150mm travel and its much better,

Overall Review: a brilliant ride that wont empty your wallet,
i'm sure there's a lot more exspesive bikes to be bought but wont perform to the level this bike does,
a dry run in a shop wont do this justice you need to try it on the trails and jumps etc
tip if you see a one at your trail center take it off him (or her) and have a blast!! if he'll let you and you'll throw your £5000 in the ditch i promise ;-)
