$2000.00 | | Purchased At: | Canfield brothers | | Strengths: | It's hard to explain how this bike rides, it's waaay different than other bikes I've been on. The suspension works beautifully. It pedals great, there is no need what so ever for a platform shock. There is no bob, and it stays active while pedaling. I'm running a Rocco Air WC shock for most riding, and a Fox DHX coil with the Push factory tune for resort riding. It doen't do anything funky under braking, if anything, it may stiffen ever so slightly. When it comes time to point it down, this thing rips! The center of gravity is noticeably low, The "DH" sizing is short, and the suspension is uber plush. It rails coners like my Blur 4x did, and can hang with the best full blown DH rigs in the rough.
| | Weaknesses: | I do have a couple things I would like to see changed. The seat tube is still a bit slack for me. the top tube is a little short, I had to switch to a 70mm stem instead of a 50mm. And the fit and finish isn't quite up to par with some of the other high end builders, mainly the ano and welds aren't as pretty as my ellsworth was. The tire clearance isn't that great either. A 2.5 maxxis clears, a 2.5 Nevegal doesn't.
| | Similar Products Used: | Nomad, Ellsworth Rogue, Reign, Coilair, Enduro | | Bike Setup: | Frameset- medium, Marzocchi Roco Air World Cup and Fox DHX coil w/ PUSH factory tune. I'll switch them depending on conditions.

| | Bottom Line: | To sum things up, the other players out there are going to have to step it up a notch to compete against this bike. yes, it really is that good. There are better DH bikes out there, and there are better XC bikes out there, but no one has yet to build a bike that blends the two of them together as well as this one does.
