They're steep angled by default compared to modern DH bikes. You can set them slack but this results in a crazy low bottom bracket. They're abit short so look at getting a size up if you can. Mine turned into corners alot slower than my current DH bike but a straight line monster over rough stuff.

Solomanda off here used to have one for quite some time... Might be worth asking him his experiences.

Good - Design, warranty, Value for money (strangely, but it's quite cheap for a long travel single pivot), geometry, versatility etc...

Bad - Weight, jack of all trades but master of none (though could also be a bonus!). Can't think of much else off hand.

EDIT: He beat me to it!

Considering a new one, but probably more likely asecondhand one.

Spotted a medium, with the same toptube as the large.
