It is a real pleasure to ride with ! Amazing maniability, i use it for dh and freeride, a lot of Bikepark-style and the bike is very very playful on the jumps etc!.. Nice "pop" on these.
I had a Fox 40' fork before this kashima 36 float 180 and there is an amazing changement. The bike is around 15,8kg and if you could put a 36 on it, do it !
I préfère the float comportement against the van.. The air is realy a "+" in freeride/dh/slopestyle, i found.

 How does it ride with a single crown fork? (I have an operator and am considered putting a single crown fork on it.)

 sick dude!
