Bottom Line:
I have been on XC and DH with this bike and have been very satisfied with the wide open freeride feel. Suspension dials in for any conditions and soaks up everything the mountain dishes out.
Bike retails for 2700.00; I bought this one in '05 from a DH competitor who maintained perfectly. Very satisfied with the purchase and would recomend for ALL MOUNTAIN conditions.
Only draw back is weight; 33# get's heavy on the steep upgrade. Payoff on the DH though so I a good trade off...
