Strengths: Light strong and simple full suss frame with great geometry and handling. Climbs as well as my GT Pantera and handles even better on the way down again. The transmission is quick quiet and smooth despite being low spec sram sx5. Replaced the suntour xcr fork before i even rode the bike as had heard too many bad reports on them. Magura quake cp 125 is upfront now and it performs beautifully and the height adjustment lets me play with the handling of the bike.
Avid juicy 3 brakes are strong and have great feel.
SDG saddle is great for all day comfort too.Weaknesses: comes with very poor BB that feels like its lubed with sand.
wheels need re-tensioning and the hubs were way too tight.
Replaced BB with xt one i had in shed and serviced the wheels and now its fast and smooth.Bottom Line: An awesome bike for the money £700. I am so chuffed with it! there had to be some bits where they saved money but the frame is the heart of any bike and this one is a peach!
Its light enough to xc race and with 4" of travel it takes enough of a hit for more technical trails.
Favorite Trail: ordiequish fochabers
