heard a lot about this bike,a do it all hardtail,anybody had one ? whats it like xc ?
Quick they aren't being made any more....
why have they stopped?
29rs and alloy bikes are selling they're not so well
I had a 2010 one, it built up to a lovely ride , nice quality finish on the frame . I really liked it and would have another. A lot of people say they are too heavy , but the weight means next to nothing when your moving and it's probably no more than a small tool kit in your backpack . Definitely a good hard tail . Im not so sure about steel not selling well either? Most quality hard tails are made of the stuff again now, so I wouldn't worry about it !!!
nice riding bike. found it rode very similar to my 5, so much so it felt like it had suspension sometimes.
Lovely bike. I've got a 2009 and absolutely love it. It does absolutely everything.
The only thing I would say is that it's heavy so not really an XC bike. You don't notice the weight on the flat and on the downhills, but as soon as you hit a hill then it feels a bit dead to me (that might be more to do with my fitness than the bike though!).
totally fine for xc. Lovely bike, done Dyfis' & Kielder 100 on mine no problem.
fails the car park test (pick it up, go hmm, thats heavy) but rides like a lighter bike. Mine is built up 2x9 with low front end courtesy of EA70 stem and flat bars, riding mostly woodland single track and rocky, slippy calder trails.
Its a ideal "everything bike" for me, as a 30 year old, over weight occasional rider.
Ideally I'd like it lighter, and maybe later this year it'll gain an air fork instead of the tora's on mine, but otherwise a top bike.
I've got one,love it. Can't add much more than the above comments..I raced in a local XC today..I'm not a contender,but the bike didn't hold me back. A confidence-inspiring bike.
I've got one too. I do everything on it, last summer I did a cross race on it and took it to the Whistler Bike Park. It does everything that I can do, and more probably. If you get the chance, get one.
I have a 2007 model built up with X9 and some White Bros carbon rigids. Not that light, but a great bike. Use mine for winter and local rides, towing the trailer, carrying the kids etc. It is my bike for keeps - and will no doubt have many guises over its life.
Fantastic bike, it's so much fun. Its a jack of all master of none, having said that I got a 1st place in over 35s in an xc race last month :D.
Just get one before the become a collectors item 🙁

My wife has a nickel plated P7 and I am quite jealous. Lovely bikes and good cross country.
GODZILLA your a gent god bless you
I have a 2010 and its a total do it all work horse for me. Use it to commute (it has rack mounts), great for a couple of hours blast round a trail center, also great for long full days in the saddle. I've put skinny tires on and done road riding with my dad.
It's a great all rounder.
