I've owned both the V1 and V3 Wreckonings. They are super playful fun bikes. However, if you are taller than 5'8" (freedom measurements) or 173 cm (every other sane place on the planet's metric system) I'd recommend looking elsewhere if climbing constitutes any larger percentage of your riding. At my 'Murican 5'7" I had no problem climbing with either Wreckers and I ran both of them in X-Low all the time. Meanwhile my 6'3" pal never got used to his. Now I'm aboard a Stumpy EVO/Banshee Paradox V3 and both are much easy to ascend on.
