Thanks for asking… we are, of course, in the process of testing for a full
review - keep an eye out for that in the coming weeks. Our intent with these
image-based overviews is to give people a good chance to look at some nice,
high-res photos, ask some questions, and talk about the bikes. So again,
thanks for commenting!
The possibility of _affordable_, sub-30 pound, 160mm bikes is definitely
becoming reality. This bike is a good example of that. Keep in mind what a 6″
bike weighed in at just a few years back. These bikes had essentially just
pushed freeride bikes out of the market, and now they're being refined.
Personally I'm happy to see this category getting lighter and faster – I like
their descending characteristics but would usually reach for a shorter travel
bike unless I really was looking to practice the dying art of freeriding.
