I'd say they compete with the Scott Genius and Scott are selling them as enduro bikes. My personal view is that a true all mountain bike should have a fork like the Fox Talas 36 up front the new Talas 32 would struggle against it's big brother in the Alps which I consider true all mountain riding.

Sure the boutique brand frames look old fashioned compared to Trek and Specialized, but I'd bet money that they're a lot more durable!

Man, November! I was told 6/8 weeks around 2 weeks ago from Trek UK that they would hit our shores. And I just sold my full sus to fund a remedy!
