Bottom Line:
This bike is very fast, responsive and nimble. It handles great in tight situations, and the RP23 works like a dream. This is a great race bike for XC and a great improvement on the previous Top Fuel platform. Upgraded with bearings from bushings and better execution on the rocker, combined with the "virtual size" changes all add up to a great light bike.
