6/10 from stock. Tracks surprisngly well for single pivot and that im using the wrong shock. should be around 8/10 soon though, got new parts incoming:
RS boxxer race 2009 Saint crankset 2009 Shimano XTR TBC revolution 32 wheelset Syncronos bar/stem combo Shimano DX peddles ODI grips Maxxis Swampthings 500x2.3 fox shock
Should be some ass kicking once i get all that stuff, can't wait!!
my bike for 2009 don't have it in yet so i had to use this pic these are the parts i'm putting on it:
sunline low rise bars sunline direct mount stem thompson elite seat post maxxis minion front on the front and front on the rear crank brothers 50/50 chromag lynx saddle
I will rate it 10/10 because it has all my favrite parts And the frame is the best company, suspension technology, has spot on geometry, and looks great.

So all in all I'd give it an 8/10. It's light weight, it's got enough travel for me, accelerates like a bat out of hell, hugs the turns, and it stops on a dime.

Giant said the old one weighed in at 44.5lbs. So i would set the mark somewere around that as the parts are a little similer. Mabey 40-42, just a ruff estimate as i coulden't find the exact weight of the 2009 model listed.

I was fortunate enough to see it in whistler for Crankworx when I raced. The best bike I have ever rode.
