I have been blown away with how good this bike is! It's a short travel 29er trail bike with 120mm front and rear suspension. It's fast climbing like a traditional XC bike but when you point this bike down hill is where it really shines! So composed for such a light weight, nimble bike!! For the money, this might be the biggest surprise of year for me!!
