Pace RC36 forks, 9 Speed XT, Race Face Bars, post , stem. | | Bottom Line: | This is my first full sus bike and it seems pretty good. The bike seems to be faster everywhere than my aluminuim hardtail. It feels lighter - despite being a couple of pounds heavier. This is good bike for general XC riding - the location of the pivot gives the best balance between climbing ability and minimal bobbing. The shock is fully adjustable. You still get thrown about a bit - something you might not expect intially until realise your going that bit faster.
Bottom Line: Very good all round bike which looks although it will last many years. | Overall Rating: |
