With the 11six it destroys the park. I am only going to trestle though so take that for what you want. I do ride all the rough stuff there (trestle dh, search and seizure, space ape, etc). I had some pretty bad issues with the cc dbair that came on it. I actually think it handles the rough stuff better than the 2010 demo 8 i came off of and leagues better than the evil uprising that was my trail bike before. There is extremely detailed conversations about it over on MTBR.

Man! One of the best looking bikes out there!
I bet it destroys on the downs bud how are the ups? Compared to your uprising?

The uprising was a bit more spritely. But I prefer the geometry (and tire clearance) on the balance. It is absolutely built toward the downhill side of the spectrum. So ya. It kills it. Uphill is a struggle but it gets done, but I blame that on my conditioning.

How does the Balance handle really rough stuff?
Would you say it's burly enough to use as a park bike?
