182.5 kilometres ridden in 4 weeks under "social distancing" laws. Two black trails (Aussie black = Northern Hemisphere blue) ridden albeit cautiously.

Rating:
The Good
Climbs excellent & accelerates well
Really nimble & stable feel
Build quality great
Threaded bottom bracket!
Low centre if gravity
Low standover
Plenty of tyre clearance
Perfect bike for Australias watered down trail networks
The Bad
Difficult to clean shock area
Decal kit not including headtube logo & inside rear triangle so they don't match 🤣
Using a Shotgun Seat has already damaged the main RH sticker on the 2nd mount.
Overall Review:

This bike should easily handle enduro racing, then will need some weight shed off (through tyres, seat, fork) to switch to an XC racer. I plan to use it this way (& plan to podium at some stage).

I may have been lucky but mine arrived to Australia 2-3 weeks early (in the peak of a global pandemic lock down)
