Fast, responsive and at home on both the race track and local single track.
I've had to have the XX brakes replaced (no hassle, done the next day) but it sounds like there was a common fault with the first batch of them. Fox forks with a lock out work fantastically well allowing you to run them softer and using the lock out when climbing and the boost value on the rear shock stops all the bounce from the rear.
After 6 months of heavy use if i was to change anything it would be the XX components to 9 speed XTR, they don't like the mud and they're going to be expensive to replace (already on my second chain to try and preserve the block as long as possible).
