Bottom Line:
Absolutely great all around, do anything bike. Very light for 6 inch travel bike. Parts spec is good for the price. Bike looks great and feels even better. Climbs like a champion without any extra bobbing but feels really plush and gives feeling of confidence when descending. Tried the bike also in Fromme, North Shore and must say that this bike is perfect for Fromme riding.
The Kenda Nevegal tires that came with the bike are not good IMO. Too much rolling resistance for XC type of riding and too little grip for downhilling.
Saddle started squeking after few hours of riding, the top of the saddle is loose from the rails.
Remedy 7 is the best deal when you compare to the prices and specs of Remedy 8 and Remedy 9
