Great bike! I bought this bike because LBS said it has the lowest standover of any full suspension on the market. I'm about 4'10-1/2" and the Juliana XS and Fuel EX8 14.5" both had standover higher than my inseam. Pivot was way out of my (original) price range, but worth every penny. I've been riding trails off and on since 1988 or so and now I'm finally pretty good at it, thanks to this bike! Climbs like a dream, descends fast, and even with the cheapest build kit (XT/SLX), so far hasn't required any swapping out of stock parts. I got the 120mm shock (not realizing it was standard on the size XXS), which I will probably lower to 100mm to see if it gives a little more standover.

The innovative and best-selling Mach 4 just got better for 2011. We made it a 5/8ths of a pound lighter, yet stiffer for an even more efficient riding experience. Using the cutting-edge dw-link® suspension design, the Mach 4 accelerates instantly during hard, out of the saddle efforts and gives amazing traction while climbing and accelerating out of corners. It's downright snappy! The suspension soaks up the bumps in a smooth controlled manner that lets you go faster. The 92mm BB shell, carbon reinforced double row bearing lower dw-link(R), high-modulus carbon fiber upper link and one-piece rear triangle make for a zero-flex bike. Mountain Bike Action said it best: "It gives riders all the benefits of a shorter-stroke XC racer, like sharp acceleration and a dizzying rate of climb...and it delivers the downhill handling of a longer-stroke trail bike." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
