This bike is very well engineered and confidence inspiring. I am able to push quite hard and still feel like I can push even harder. I also like the customizable geometry (both front and rear). There is enough compliance in the rear without feeling to springy, and the front end feels planted with my 50mm offset setup. The bike also generates speeds quickly compared to other DH bikes I have ridden even in the mullet setup. I do get some noticeable pedal kickback, so I would recommend an ochain or something similar if riding chunky trails often. Apart from that, i do not find any major negatives. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to race or just smash bike park trails.
