| 'GREAT LOOKS, GREAT SPEC, GREAT BIKE' |  | Strengths:
Chameleon like bike, can climb like a hard tail (thanks VPP), descend like a dream (thanks 5.5") travel, and can be built up into all sorts of roles. | | Weaknesses:
Takes a while to get the VPP dialed to suite your style | | Overall:
Ive had mine for a year now before I decided to write this review.
I specced mine with a Pace RC41XCAM to start with, was fantastic but for the rocky descents in the Peaks its even more fun with a Pace RC40Fighter 150mm travel fork.
Ive heard reports of problems with pivots having to be changed often, ive riden for a year in the peaks and all the bearings are fine on my frame so its possibly older frames that had this issue.
The most amazing thing is thinking your on an Epic XC bike, until you get to that mile long rock garden, open it up and let the suspension just soak it up.....glides like a dream and certainly works as an ability compensator for me !
