The bike rides so darn good, you can stand up on it, no hads with ease. The balance on here is just wild. The shocks and the way she feel is not comparable. Such a nice ride. I love how you can lock the shocks when you are on pavement, so freaking nice. There is only one thing, make sure you have some small zip ties. In the back on both sides small plastic clips hold the cable to the frame, they break quite easily. For instance, if a small branch finds its way in between the cable and frame. But if you are not on wild trails then do not worry about the zip ties.
I absolutely love this bike.
