This bike is a beast!
Rating:
The Good
Lightweight, centered geometry, brakes have great stopping power, super clean shifting, dropper is responsive and suspension is very plush.
The Bad
The only negative thing I can say is the bottom bracket could be a little more higher. I had pedal strikes when I first rode so I had to get some protective boots so I wasn't bashing up my sweet Race Face Aeffect Rs.
Overall Review:

The SW makes me a better rider and helped me conquer trails that I thought were impossible to ride. This bike has saved me so many times by keeping me upright when I thought I was going to crash. It wants to stay centered which really helps when negotiating through rocky terrain. I switched the flip chip to see how much it changed the suspension. I was surprised at how it felt like a different bike immediately. I was able to climb better on the different setting and had less pedal strikes.
