Put simply i love it, this is my first full susser so i cant really compare to others but going from a hardtail to this is fantastic.
Bike feels great going down, super smooth and has given me a real confidence boost.
It is not as bad as you think at climbing either i was very suprised at its ability, on the road it rolls well considering the 2.5 tyres.
The only thing that lets the bike down are the brakes and seatpost length, the brakes lack feel and are not as sharp as i would like and the seatpost cant be pushed all the way to the bottom, this is not a big deal but when jumping and doing a bit of street riding i like it out the way.
If it was not for these two things it would have scored a 5.
