Bike Setup:
Stock plus new seat.
Bottom Line:
This bike is excellent value. I couldn't find a bike with this kind of component selection in this price range 900us. Rides very stiff for a full-suspension bike. Feels like a hard tail on road surfaces. The disks are a plus.

Bottom Line:
If your looking for a cheap, light full suspension bike this should definitely be on your shortlist. With good suspension there is little to say against this bike. The parts package is nothing special but it is clear that the designers have put their efforts into the frame. The front and rear seem to be pretty evenly matched with little bob at the back.
