8/10 for the mondraker. Hired one in the alps, is it just me or are they really unstable in the air? Or is that just me going from a med orange patriot to a l summum? Haha. Not going to post my bike again.

6/10 for the Mondraker personally, I don't like the curves on the frame and I really don't like the colorway. Plus that derailleur looks like it's hanging on for dear life.
Not the best picture but here is my Kona Precept 200, which I have limited the rear travel to 180mm (click on photo and read caption for explanation.)
My Precept 180. Always felt like the 200mm was too much for the trails I ride So I replaced the stock length shock 8.75x2.75 with a shorter stroke shock with the same I2I 8.75x2.5 yielding 180mm of travel according to my calculations but preserving the geometry. Pleased with it so far.

Not a massive fan of Konas but that is very nice. Liking the orange and always loved those forks. 8/10.

9.5/10 for the DHR not a fan of the near flat rise bars and the cable routing on the outside of the downtube, but that's some pretty minor things.
