Was a big fan of my 2010 model, think this one is the same frame, with rock shox forks instead of Fox (no big change IMO).
I got a bit pissed off with the hayes brakes on mine, pistons seemed to stick a lot and the rotors warped with little provocation.
Good wheels but keep an eye on the spokes from new, I bust one and loosened a couple but then tightened and trued everything and never had any problems after that.

I've got a 2009. Same frame and mine is great. Can be a bit harsh on longer rides but a thudbuster seatposter has sorted that. Not sure I'd recommend it for lighter riders as it's not a lighteight, would guess it's just under 30lbs. Having said that I'm not exactly small and the frame feels bombproof.
