I'm so glad I got this bike, it's been a dream to ride. It's my first full suspension and I feel it was a great choice. It handles bumps, roots, rocks, and small jumps with ease. It's been a huge upgrade for downhill and it's a good climber. I think this would be an excellent choice for anyone trying to get into mountain biking.

I purchased this bike on sale and it is a great build for the price. I'm satisfied with the construction and ride quality. The bike techs at the Framingham store were great and went over the specifics of the bike when I picked it up.
