I hadn't the opportunity to ride it a lot but for what I know by now: really light bike, uphills are not a problem even with the shock open (it should have the remote installed but I didn't want it so the shock is open) and in the slackest setting (66.2ยบ) thanks to the seat angle. When you point down the rear feels solid and the front stays exactly where you want. I hope to ride it more in the next few days to give some more opinions..
