Alright for the price

The Good
The bike has decent geo and comes well spect.
The Bad
Mega flexy rear end. The seat stays are not connected to each other or to the chain stays unlike many other free ride/dh bikes. This created a lose feeling rear end, witch did no go well with the brake jack on technical sections. I found that for steep and ruff trails i was underbiked.
Overall Review:
Great bike for free ride and smaller riders. Look elsewhere for a bike that can also handle DH.

The Good
The geometry of this bike its perfect for freeride and people who like to jump their bike, it also can handle any dh track you put in front of it. With short chainstays this bikes feels very nimble and playfull. I own the 2009 version with 8.1 travel and its awesome.
The Bad
some brake jack at high DH speeds.
Overall Review:
This is one of those bikes that if its your first really DH/FREERIDE you will improve your riding skills and will make you a better rider without braking the bank.
