Additional Info

I've owned this bike for a year now and had been running it in the standard configuration with 130mm fork, inline shock, and lighter tyres. It's great like that and really punches above it's weight, but it made me wonder what it would be like with beefier tyres, a piggyback shock, and longer fork... the answer is, pretty impressive, but not as sharp as in it's standard form. 

I'll likely end up somewhere in the middle, but it's great to have a bike that can go from "almost XC" to "almost enduro" with just a few changes.
