I agree for the most part but this one is pretty damn stiff. just wish I had a totem and dhx5 to slap on it. I bought it because got it for cheap. was pretty critical about the lefty at first but really works suprisingly well. And this bike is very light. One day even took it to the dj park cuz was near by and didn't want to have to get my hardtail. Again worked really well, wasn't expecting it to be that manuverable
