You could ask Dave at Bothy Bikes (Aviemore) or anyone at the Hub (Glentress) for feedback - they both run hire fleets of iO ID's and the conditions up there can be harsh. No issues in 2 years.
As long as you don't do high-speed rock gardens or to-flat drops, it's fine. I'd try to avoid jetwashing like any hub though, and a service before the winter is good preventative maintenance.

Arrgh!

There's that mention of a service again.....

James-O - what does this service consist of? I thought the hub was dry, so no oil change. Ummm......what is it then?
