    Strengths:    Best acting suspension I ever experienced. Huggs ground like no other. High cranks clear anything. Cornering is amazing (better than my shorter M3). Multiple settings to fit many preferences (One time only setup for me). More burly than previous DH versions (slight weight increase).

    Weaknesses:    Noisy pivots, put in a spacer but problem not completely solved. No rear shock fender...painful custom build. Not great for jumping (sends you long instead of high) but acceptable.

    Bottom Line:   
    Great quality bike and as fun to ride. Fast, fast, fast and confidence building. Slightly annoying pivot issues.
