Gear Review
Climbs/Descends Great
By Jason True
May 2, 2009
I was surprised that with a single pivot design the bike barely bobs when climbing. It takes 3 foot drops easily and was easy to dial in the suspension. Make sure you put some tape over spots where the cables sit to prevent cable rub. Very happy with this purchase.
