I’ve got one and love it so far.
Weight – yes it’s a heavy frame but I don’t think it’s really a big deal. A carbon race frame will be about 3.5 lbs lighter and a weightweenie build on one of these will give a total weight of say 21 lbs. Transfer that build to a Honzo and you have a 24.5lb bike you can go XC racing on if you wish. 🙂
I think lighter wheels and fast rolling tyres make far more difference to ride than a few pounds sitting on the frame.
It flies downhill, which is the priority as far as I am concerned and it feels nice and stiff pedalling and cornering hard.
Micarms is right, I said in a previous thread the bottom cup is F but it’s the H, I should have checked before posting shite.
The spec on the full bike looks a bit pants right enuff.
