I rode one in queensland earlier this year.Forget the brand but the guy said it was made in Alaska and it had front shocks and was suprisingly light.It was actually a really good ride i rode it on sand and some big tree roots and it just floated over everything.The full susser would be awesome for the mountains here at the moment as the snow is starting to melt rapidly....
