Pros: -well balanced in air, jumps very good (doesn't dive in air) -very comfortable -make a lot of attention in a city -suspension works very good -feels indestructible -pedals good (but this is not xc bike ;) -give a lot of confidence and fun -badass
Cons: -weight -high BB a little bit -feels like a chopper in corners (but you can used to it, need to turn little earlier) not a big cons. -fork to stiff for me (I'm only 145lbs) -need very powerful brakes

This was my first full suspension bike. I rode it FR/DH. It feels good on DH tracks for me and even better on FR. But of course this is not a DH race bike This is beast in air. Superman on dirt? No problem. It jumps like no other. You need only to hold a bar firmly. Very nice bike in my opinion and would recommended it as bike 4fun. 9/10 because of weight. (Ups it should be in freeride section)
