The reviews are accurate. Most notably, this bike seems to find traction where there shouldn't be any, and it's very capable on technical uphills. The fact that this bike descends like a dream isn't a surprise, but the combination of uphill capability and downhill prowess is extremely hard to find. My medium sized bike is built to weigh 31 lbs, 2 oz, with minimal mods. This bike is genius.
I'm faster on my +35lb (not stock) Firebird than I was on my 27lb XC bike.
If you can only afford one bike, or only have space for one. Make this it.

Take Flight. The Firebird sets the new gold standard in long travel trail bike performance. We've harnessed Dave Weagle's ability to design the world's best downhill suspension and added more than a few tricks of our own. The Firebird's dw-link® design has the DNA of 6 DH World Championships under its belt, and its gravity-based heritage is clearly evident in the bike's incredible descending skills...but it doesn't end there. We've built a bike that can climb as well as it descends. The dw-link's position-sensitive anti-squat characteristics make for exceptional climbing and snappy acceleration with perfectly tuned Fox suspension to handle anything and everything you love to ride. Build it up light for ultra-technical epics, or build it up big for gravity runs. The Firebird is your ultimate trail machine.
