This bike is awsome I have it built up with discs & knoby 2.1s and it still is under 22.5 lbs. You get three inches of travel, great pedal efficiency and no weight penalty.

If you are looking for the ultimate XC race bike, this is it. I am amazed at how my lap times have improved and how much energy I am able to conserve on the longer races. I have raced hard tails for four years because I did not want to compromise weight and efficiency on a full sprung ride, but this bike is just as light and seems way more efficincy

Efficient & light!

It's a great bike! If your a weekend warrior who wants cushy smooth cadilac travel...this isn't the bike for you. This is a race machine! I rode the Ellsworth Truth and it felt like a big cadilac. I'll admit it was a super smooth ride and fun on the downhill, however, it felt like a beast. The ACE is a sleek machine that offers a very efficient ride and is super light...like a race car. I feel very comfortable on this bike and love the ride! If you want a bike that can perform in a cross country race...the Dean ACE x-lite is for you!

THIS BIKE IS A MUST the frame itself is worth 2,550$$$ brand new at the dean shop in boulder. the titanium frame is unscratchable, i did my own test on it to see. i took a wire brush and scrap it hard several times against one spot on the frame. NOTHING except a extremely minor scratch hardly visible. i have crashed several several times trying crazy things, and not one thing went wrong!!! SUPER DURABLE SUPER STRONG SUPER LITE SUPER COOL LOOKING(silver frame with dean logo, you cant look any more official than that!!!) THIS BIKE IS UNSTOPPABLE, I MIGHT HAVE IT FOR LIFE
i just dont know what could happen to it for how small and lite it is, but i have not had any breaking problems! the only thing that you need to have for this bike is good components
If you have a good setup for this bike, literally anything is possible! for me having old crapy deaurailers on it, they broke of the frame! BUT LITTERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE is amazing, this MY FAVORTIE PART is the frame, it will last me a lifetime!
