Just curious, as I fancy picking up a second hand one for uplift days. They seem to get slated in the reviews though.

Owned one for a few years as did a mate, not sure they get/got slated as really enjoyed mine, downsides were they are quite heavy and a bit flexy at the rear, mine was qr not sure if they did a bolt thru version. With 7″ travel they werent really a dh bike but a bit of an all rounder, rode mine with 66sl’s and not sure if a set of dual crowns would suit? If it’s a full on dh frame your after try and find a big hit as they build up into a very good/ cheap dh rig. failing that if the asx is cheap go for it.

Nice one, thanks

not as good as an orange 66 – I tried both and the 66 is stiffer so thats what i got. still love it.
