Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
I bought the bike because i was moving more towards downhill riding. Its definately a solid bike for the price, and is comes with great components (hydro discs would be better but hey)
The stock rear spring was a bit light (400lb??) so it was upgraded to a 700 and now the bike feels more balanced.
I havent noticed any problems with the fork yet, but a dual crown would make this bike rock.
