I've been thinking recently that it was about time that i got my hands on a full suss-er, so after having my hard tail stolen last week, i'll take that as a sign that it's time to get one.

 After doing a bit of browsing I've come across the Viper fugitif carbon. Now I've had a ride on vipers carbon hard tail, which i must say felt very good. However I'm looking to get some decent feedback about the fugitif.

 From what I've read so far, most people seem to be happy with it, however I haven't really seen anything mentioned about it's strength (or lack of). I'm 10 stone so it's not going to crack under my weight, but what happens if i come across a few 3ft drops on the trail? Or i happen to park it into a tree? With only 65mm of travel it looks like it should just take the edge off some of the rougher trail.

 So if anyone's had a chance to ride this, i'd be very grateful for any feedback you might have.

Cheers

John
