I have a 2010 remedy and I love it... Switched from an enduro and I prefer the handling etc.
Right travel length for everything I do (mostly XC/all mtn/some park riding)

None of the above. The best all mountain bike available is the Specialized Enduro.

"none of the above, the best bike is"

Do you self a favor mate, get to your LBS and sit your ass on a few bikes....

Just because I have a yeti sb-66 and think it's by far the best AM bike out there right now it dosnt mean that you are going to feel the same...

Just because it's right for me it don't mean it's right for you......

Thing is there are to many peoe that will tell you that bike "X" is the best bike out there for the job you want to do and guess what, the bike they told you is the best will be the one they have locked up in there garage.....

BUM ON SEAT AND TRY SOME OUT... that's the way to find the right bike for you

Or, just get a SB-66 by far the best bike out there................................. JOKE!!!! lol

What does a person have to do to post an opinion without harsh opposition around here anyway? You make a good point and I agree with you. But after riding a few bikes and comparing specs, bike tests, reviews etc., I just think it's the best option right now. Which is incidentally my opinion and if you don't like it that's fine. I sure wish I could try them all though.

This will void your frame warranty... Just an FYI. They only allow for a 150mm Fox 32.

Anyone know if the remedy 7 has a tapered steerer or not, cuz all the higher models do but i'm not sure about the 7. But it has the e2 tapered headtube like the rest of them, so it it possible to have a normal 1 1/8 steerer with a tapered headtube?

Anything 2010 or newer has e2 which is tapered. You can get a headset to allow a standard fork to work with it. (non tapered fork in tapered bike)
