Stock.
Bottom Line:
This bike feels like a it can do anything. It's just that it doesn't do any of them particularly well. I love the forks and often nail tight trails with them compressed at there 80mm (ETA setting). This still gives you 20mm of travel. It is a cross over bike and I have ridden it all day, but it is a little heavy. I've done downhill runs at Ski Hills on it. The brakes are flawless, but then again a real DH bike would have been better. Kinda like the Santa Cruz Bullit. You can do everything on it, it's just that on the Trail/XC side, you're aware that you're on a heavy bike.
