The fun and easy-going one of the party.
Highly versatile design, surprisingly comfortable, easy-to-ride geometry, tubeless-ready (sort of), regular component fitments, good tyre clearance, just simply fun.
Stubby seat tube lengths make the sizing weird, potentially over-geared for adventuring on big tyres, mechanical disc brakes are only so-so, cables will rub paint if not protected.

A bit pricey for the spec, but fun to ride and highly capable
Comfortable ride
Great shifting and braking
Loads of mounts
Welds are a little agricultural
Wheels add weight
Pushed hard on price
