If you want to get ahead - get a handjob

Wish I could find more time to get out on the ****er 😥
I love my hustler.
I chose it for the way it looks and how it rides.
They may not be to everyones taste and that's fine and why there is choice.
Personally I would say, don't worry what other people think, you're obviously considering one so go and ride one and see for yourself...

Also got a Hustler which is built up fairly burly, it climbs OK, even better if i remember to lock the shock out and it flies downhill, try one before you buy though as both are a bit overpriced new!
Hustler here too. Not as good looking as my old 5spot, but a far better bike better/fun ride. As far as I am aware, the travel and geometry have remained unchaged since late 2005 (They just got it right and left it). If your on a budget, get a secondhand frame, and spend your money on good forks/shock. Pushed Pikes and RP23 on mine work a treat 😉

Love both mine. The Hustler gets used most and has held up brilliantly to a year out here getting a battering. Love it!
For the win:
Small Coves;
Handjob XC - Awesome trail machine built up with XC gear and it feels alive on the trails. Best UK Trail Centre HT, imo.
Stiffee FR - built up with an Alfine and Fox 36's for my winter 'hack'. Awesome, solid, mini DH HT. Does beat you up alot when compared to the HJ.
Hustler XC - Everything the HJ is but with 10mm more travel up front and 5-inches at the rear too. Used in the Alps, Trail Centres, on Uplift days and in the Mega.
Medium Frames;
G-Spot FR - not yet riden this yet but bought to move my riding 'on' and I wanted something burlier that the Hustler.
Shocker DH - The first run down the red run at Cwm Carn confirmed to me that my life is soo much better with a Shocker in it.
All are much better than I am.
Oh, Cove is definately Scorchio!
Most definitely hot....just about to take delivery of a bright orange Handjob with a nice build from a mate for bugger all as he's broke and i'm not!!!!
Can't wait to take it out...Loving your white hustler Kit...looking forward to owning a Cove as i've often drooled over a fetching white Handjob in my LBS!
They are fantastic bikes which is why I'm still on my 6yr old one:
