Bottom Line:
I went from a dualie to a hardtail and whilst overcoming the standard withdrawl symptoms the HX1 has been tons of fun. I'm 89kilos (196 Pounds) and i like to ride hard, so finding something that gives you confidence and is tough, is difficult. This is a pretty good bike by my books.
I reckon if your keen on riding trails and tackling the tough stuff on a hardtail then this is the bike for you.
