Rear suspension offers lots of traction and comfort
Great pedalling position on the climbs
Comfortable even on demanding trails
Requires a very active riding style in the corners
A little underwhelming on flat, flowing trails

The SB130 is like a cheetah. It’s fast and it’ll bite your head off if you’re not careful.
