i found mtb as a way to stay sane during my summers away from snowboarding and now its just kinda taken over. Cut my teeth in the Tetons, Spent a couple seasons in the NW, but there's no place like home!
Having given the new Bronson and 5010, Troy, Attack Trail, Hei Hei and Process, Mojo 3, Habit, and Slash a go, this is the best pedaling bike I've been on. So much so it feels like cheating a little and I've even giggled punching up loose shelfy climbs on the Scout. Kinda mind blowing how play a bike can be that feels so planted on climbs. If you got the dough and want that extra baller factor in the bike you ride, both of the others are great choices. This is the funest bike I've ridden other than the Smuggler.
