Great climber, efficient, aggressive racing geometry, fast short and nimble bike that's extremely fast. One of the great features of this bike are the ust ready wheels. The stock tires can be used as tubeless temporarily with the addition of some sealant. But overtime the bead will stretch and the tire will become unusable

The only weakness I see is that if your old or have a bad back is that it's a hardtail. But I'm 15 so I can take a beating (:

Great fast bike. Incredible xc racing bike for New England.
