I think Alex has one and gave some recent thoughts if you do a search.
I'm running a HD3 with 2.5 Minions and have plenty of grip.
Oh Yes 🙂 Rubbish pic of me riding mine last weekend

Yep I have one. Bought an ex-demo in March. Ridden it 800km since then locally in the FoD but also down the ranger path on Snowdon/CyB and a week away in Spain. Mostly running on chubbies but around 300km on WideTrail 2.4 DHR II and Widetrail 2.5 DHF.
It's certainly the bike I've felt most confident on for a long time and that's backed up by the devil that is Strava. More importantly it's just a brilliant all round trail bike. Good at everything really, climbs well (my L is about 28.5lbs and it doesn't have the posh carbon wheels), brilliant suspension action (first DW link I've had), really neutral in a good way and the harder you push it, the better it gets.
On the downside, there is bog all clearance in the rear for anything but dry conditions with a 2.8 tyre in there (allegedly IBIS designed it for a 2.5 but decided they could get a 2.8 in there), the linkages are build to extremely tight tolerances and clog up with mud very easily. What I'm saying here is it's not an ideal winter bike... you could put the narrower tyres on (using same rims) and that solves the clearance issue but I much (much) prefer it chubby.
I'm a serial bike changer but not felt the need to ride any of my other bikes (anyone want to buy a FlareMax!) or look at anything else since I've had this.
I've put a few posts up here and there's quite a few pics on my flickr feed https://www.flickr.com/photos/alexleigh/
I wouldn't pay full price for one as they are silly money. Very happy with mine tho - never used to consider them as they were quite short in the TT but the Mojo3 fits me perfectly. Oh and if I had the choice, I'd have had the black one not the red one...
