I didn't want to ride a Specialized until I rode one of these. Now I own one and I like it. They are very fast bikes. They handle very well, ripping up corners and plowing through both wide open rough and tight technical terrain. They will likely make you faster if you can fit on one. I know 5 riders on these and so far they are holding up well to race condition abuse by some large, very strong riders. Specialized is a corporate monster that probably has higher profit margins on all their products than most in the MTB...
