Impressively lightweight, well-specced short-travel hardtail that’s seriously capable on the climbs
Comfy, strong and efficient pedalling position
Fast-rolling tyres
Decent Shimano brakes
Crisp, reliable gear shifting
The 90mm of fork travel puts limitations on the technical grade of trail that's comfortable to ride
Straight head tube will limit but not rule out fork upgrade options
