Fox 40's, straitline stem, spinergy wheels, Juicy 7 carbon brakes, sram x.0 shifter and derailer, and other top end bike porn.
Bottom Line:
It's a blast to ride. I have mine down to around 40 pounds with what's on it, and I couldn't care less. It's a bit of a pig, but it literally floats over everything. Some bikes jump, some skip, and some are just stable. This is a mix of them all. Amazing feel.

This frame is the best. I use it mainly as a freeride bike but also a racer. I have yet to bottom it. It is fairly light and has 9 inches of travel. If you are looking at buying a new dh bike look at this one.
