    "The fastest and lightest DH bike on the market"

    Rating:

    The Good: Incredible suspension, a huge range of tuning potential, bottom-less travel, zero brake-jack.
    Outstanding construction quality and impeccable engineering in every bolt, nut, weld and tube.
    High-end part spec, light and strong. 38lb out of the box.

    The Bad: Wheels are strong, but not quite as high-end as the rest of the bike.
    Not sure anyone runs 28" bars like the ones that comes with...
    Price is up there, but at the same time you get what you pay for.

    Overall Review: Thoroughly impressed with the bike after 3 weeks riding and 2 races (with a 1st and 3rd to show for it). Didn't have to make hardly any adjustments to my riding to adapt to the bike, other than just to let go of the brakes a bit more and trust it! This thing is a DH weapon. Absolutely rails in the corners and snaps out of them and accelerates like a scalded cat.
