I just built a 2013 Phantom, first ride today an its an AWESOME bike for the money, looks like the head tube gusset from the 2012 has been removed for 2013, replaced with a hydroformed one piece downtube/headtube junction
As for the ride, the rear end is VERY short for a 4X frame, very snappy and powerfull out of the gate an pedaling out of berms but, quite tweaky almost like a DJ rear end. ET'ing over jumps made the rear fish tail ! took some getting used to but, all good once i did
