I have had one for a few years now, its built solidy if you are a big fella it should be fine.
I run mine with 130mm revelations but I suspect with longer forks it would be ok also.
Have changed all bearings once, think the guy I bought it off was jet washer mad. No problems since.
I seem to keep up with my mates who have had hecklers, fives, patriot, etc so happy enough, climbs well with pro pedal.
