Been rocking this beast since spring, Azo gave me a sweet deal as I finally wrecked the Saber...Hats off to Daniel and Tracy at O'Neal/Azonic, good guys, excellent support and help building the rig up.
It rips around the VT slime, roots etc., climbs good, ended up at 33 lbs. which is light for me. A little tall-feeling in the bottom bracket, but I'm used to it now and if you want 6 inches I guess that's the way it is. The Roco shock is just about perfect, no bottom outs yet. The lockout works great on the grinders and cushy plush on the descent. I had to remove the top mounting axle to get at the air valve, but so far haven't had to go back for tuning. I also recommend the 1-ply Minions if you can find 'em -- all the grip of the regular ones but claimed 800 grams, good for all-mountain, no pinch flats yet, 28 psi front, 32 rear.
All in all, you can't go wrong, excellent execution of a solid 4-bar 6-incher.
