 Had this ride for the past 3-4 months and couldn't be more happy. Best tracking bike I have ever had the pleasure to ride. It seems to find speed on even the most gar track sections. With such an active suspension you would expect it to jump a little less, nope, the session jumps far better than expected and is extremely compliant in the air. Zero problems with thin tubing, dents, or malformations from manufacturing. Weather you race or ride for leaser, if give the opportunity to get one, do it. Th only con here is the pricetag, but you get what you pay for and that's raw speed with a hand full of sex appeal.

 I got the frame instead of the full build. This bike rips and is super light. I can't even imagine what a 9.9 must feel like. I have two notes for buyers. First, the frame does not come greased so make sure you grease all the pivots before riding it. Second, the spring rate on the shock is likely too high. Most people swap out the 450 for a 400. Overall the bike rides super well. Absolutely no brake jack. Perfect Geometry. I would recommend it to anyone with the cash.

 Had this bike for half a year and i love it!!! I use it for everything, dirt jumps, freeride, downhill, even road and xc. i even ended up selling my hardtail as i decided i dont need it due what the bike can actualy be used for.
DH-so easy to corner and just going flat out, you hardly feel like your on a dh track just feels like your on a fire road.
FR-very throwable in the air due to the lightness, easy to learn tricks (whips, tables, no handers etc)
DJ-obviously rubbish compared to a dj bike but compared to my old dh bike, this is great, surpisingly flowy and easy to pump. So far learnt 180s on it.
XC-I mangaged to lug mine up the wrekin (1,335 ft above sea level) was a struggle but its do able

 It's a cool freeride bike and downhill bike it's a heavy hitter you could crash a million times on this this bike and it would be alright the components are really nice and it has a super soft feel
