I love this bike i was worried that a single pivot design would not pedal as good as my previous FSR bike, but with the pro-pedal there is no bob and i can climb things that i could not before. It goes downhill even better. makes me very confident. I love this bike for mostly XC with some light AM. designed for full length housing on rear derailleur.
Excellent trail frame. Strong, simple, reliable and rare.
What spares there are are readily available, although all you should ever really need to do is swap the swingarm bearings, which is an extremely simple job.
