Bottom Line:
If you're a beginner freerider that does a little jumping but your held back because you own a hardtail, get this bike. If you own a sorta cheap hardtail, get this bike if you want something smoother. Ive done some 6 foot drops and 15 foot gaps with this and it has handled them flawlessly. Get this bike if you want a fs that won't break the bank.
