ive put 442kms on it in mullet and 41kms in 29 mode on 1 ride ( BTW a 2.6 x 29 DHR fits into the rear with plenty of space ) - its way better for me as a mullet-my loop has 800m of climbing, mixture of techy trails and some gnarl downhill sections-about a 2hr 40 ride which includes 10km of flat blackseal... its climbs better, jumps better - roles faster over flowing trail-you can get much lower in the bike going down and it just feels like it carries speed better/easier to turn + its just way more flickable as a mullet/geo feel's better..running with a 150mm Pike and 2.6 front and rear..im just under 6 foot on a large frame....ive got no issues at all with this bike...geo is so spot in mullet mode/plenty of rocky sections and zero pedal strike to date....its that good ive not ridden my full sus in 6 weeks! second set of bottle boses perfect for the Med B Rad Wolf Tooth strap mount...for the money/simplicity and setup options you can not go wrong at all...get the longest dropper you can fit-mines 200mm or so.
