Great bike. I've had it for a year and have hammered the heck out of it. After being severely injured on a ride a coupla years ago, I started recently to ride aggressively again (takes time to rebuild the confidence). This bike was a major part of my inspiration to turn up the heat in the saddle again.
Tonight, on our challenge ride, I was able to huck up to 5'ers to flat without feeling much of the landing. We took a stair drop (long, steep and twisty) where I launched mid way down to avoid another rider; the bike took it like a champ. I felt like I was back.

My flow is back and it is by no small part of the deluxe.
I think I need a bigger hit bike now... Ah, the Bullit.
Buy this bike. My HD with DH tires (three ply) and beefy components comes in at 35 lbs. It was, at one point, a 28 lb rig before I went crazy on the tires. You'll be amazed how well you climb (I smoked a buddy on his ID in middle ring up a steep and loose climb... we are evenly paired as riders).
