The geometry is specially designed to reduce/prevent pedal bob while climbing. It gets good reviews on MTBR and similar sites. Almost 6" of travel is nothing to sneeze at either, I was originally looking at XC bikes with around 4" travel, but this deal was too good to pass up.Originally Posted by Crinale

Could be, but it's no surprise it isn't an amazing shock considering the price. In my opinion a shock is an easy upgrade, and I'll just ride this one because I won't know any better any way.Originally Posted by Crinale
I wanted a BIG bike because I wanted a longer wheelbase that matched my height. Should be super smooth and stable at high speed.Originally Posted by Crinale
