This bike is very solid, I have only had it for 3 months, but it seems
to be very durable. I love the geometry, it works great for the technical
single track terrian that I enjoy the most. The rear suspension
works really good, it is doesn't sag under my weight, but still
provides good plushness. The swingarm design works well, very rigid,
chain tension does not vary since pivot point is concentric with
the bottom bracket. It is really trick looking, a lot of people
stop me on the trail to check it out.

Micals has put together a excellent full suspension design. As a small, yet up and coming company
located in Campbell, California, these guys have really gone all out to provide an extremely high quality
mountain bike.
The frame is composed of rectangular tubing which makes it incredibly stiff, and the rear triangle is an
inverted fork design.The component selection is awesome, with XTR, Machine Tech levers, Phil Wood Hubs and much more.
I consider this to be the best of both worlds for the serious cross country rider, who also likes the thrill of
screaming the downhill. Aesthetically, it's a beauty too.
I have found that the rear is a little flexy, but I've ridden worse. I had a chance
to talk to the designer a few months ago, and it is apparently being addressed.
All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who wants a bike from one of the smaller companies.
At $2695.00 you get much more than you pay for.
