I want one but I'm waiting to see what MBUK think first.

Belongs to one of my mates. Not seen it in the flesh yet, or ridden it (that said it'd be too big for me) so can't comment. He's put a few miles in on it so far though.

looks just like the multitude of chinese and tai carbon frames all over the tinternet. I take it, planet X just got some of those and gave the option to have some really horrible stickers to add if you want. ๐Ÿ˜€

I've got one. I like it a lot. I wrote some words here.

As I say in the link, I don't have a huge amount to compare it to in the category, but I'm content with my purchase.

Not good, flexy.

flexy.

He did say it wasn't as stiff as other 29ers he's ridden. Though seems to serve a purpose as it's light and quick and it's his race bike.

Yeah, but they all do these days unless it's from a proper boutique(ish) brand like Niner... Even the Santa Cruz Highball looks a bit "out of a catalogue" if you ask me.

No not refering to the blog from other sources whose opinions I'd trust, not liked, the quality isn't very good either.

From my point of view, absolutely nothing wrong with the quality. Ok, so no "bang on trend" graphics, but I'm quite happy with it being destickered.

No noticeable flexi when stamping out of the saddle, and I wouldn't want it any more stiff... But then I wanted a bike for endurance racing rather than 2 hour xc. Having said that, I'm sure I'd be the limiting factor way before the bike in shorter races.
