Strengths:
agressive stance, very accurate manuverable geometry. good plush travel for hucking big hit's and drops, firm but light.
Bike Setup:
Great geometry, setup with travis 150 fork and all raceface diabolous, sram x9 drivetrain, sun mtx rims 2.5" nokian tire. best bike I've ever owned.
Bottom Line:
it's hard for me to justify a price for this bike because it was free, and I got id dressed to the nines... but this bike is sick. I would pay 2500 for a new one if it got stolen. A great light weight med travel dh bike free ride bike. super solid and smooth
