I won't deny that the bad PR that the Big S got in the past year has really
burned me on their offerings. But this does look like a pretty darn capable
bike with some very well thought-out features like the toolkit and autosag. As
a very long-time reader of NSMB it's posts like this that remind me how far
we've come. I remember riding an Epic on the Shore about a decade ago (on a
lark) and I about rattled the bike to bits. The fork locked out on me on the
way down CBC and never worked right after that.
