My buddy just bought this exact bike, and in my curious researching about it I can't really find a single negative word about it. It's almost entertaining to watch journalists grapple with the fact that they can't really find a true negative within the scope of the test...Tim mentions the exposed shock, PinkBike mentioned some possibly flex concerns relating to the upper linkage, but neither created issues during intensive testing.
Great review of the bike by someone who can rip a DH bike pretty well, and has ridden some other very good ones. If I can ever figure out how to ride more DH again, one of these may find its way into my garage...
