Very Nimble DH Bike.
The Good
The bike is very nimble and plush if you upgrade few parts. And the bike is farely light, lighter then the sister carbon fiber models. The bike is perfect for gnarly rock gardens and flowy jump trails. I had Sender CFs but I hated the progressive feel of the MX links and the air shock. Aluminum version dumped mx links and added coil shocks resulting more linear and plush with better support in the mid travel.
The Bad
The Select dampers on the front and rear are terrible. Unable to tune the compression speed, the bike height stays very low on the descents. This throws you over the bar all the time. Adding air pressure and tokens only gives you harsher ride. The only way to fix this problem is by exchanging the damper to Charger2.1. High and low compressions setup to the right speed, the bike is very nimble and plush. And also the Sram Guide RE brakes are not the best brakes. Fingers and arm muscles suffer after every ride. Upgrading to Shimano XT brakes or better will help.
Overall Review:
With few upgrades(dampers, brakes, tubeless) the bike feels very nimble and plush. The bike feels light and controllable on both technical descents and flowy jump trails. The sizing is somewhat out dated. Consider getting one size larger. (Reach M:440, L:460mm)
