I’ve recently purchased one and love it, the price seemed reasonable for the component spec with a carbon frame, I looked at loads of other stuff and couldn’t find similar for the money. I was not aware of the bad reputation and a couple of my buddies ride on ones and rate them (not maccatuskils though)
The customer service for ordering was a bit rubbish, I was planning on using the 0% finance that they list on the on one website, but they don’t actually offer it on this bike and refused to honour it. However I had the money anyway and after weeks of comparing other bikes, decided to go with it.
Bike arrived within 5 days and was built well (I checked all bolts etc.. all good and secure)
I think it rides very well, much better than my old 29er, it is surprisingly nimble (760mm bars help this) climbs well and copes perfectly with the downhill bits in my local forest.
I’ve not yet taken it to a bike park, but will later in the year, I expect it to be fine.
It isn’t as light as my buddies Scott Scale 920, but I couldn’t find one of those for the same money.
