Great ventilation

Strong aesthetic

Comfortable for general off-road riding

Grippy sole for walking

Metatarsal button could offer relief for riders who suffer foot numbness or hot spots

The metatarsal button won’t suit everyone

Sole too flexible for long or repeated intense efforts

Retention cable is sticky and can create pressure points

Balanced geometry and capable suspension inspire confidence

Silent on descents

Integrated ‘Save the Day Kit’

Stellar climbing performance

Integrated shock and one-piece bar and stem limit customisation

Frame storage door stopped locking into place

Bar stiffness

Efficient climber

Excellent support through heavy, repeated hits

Integration looks great

Expensive

Working on the shock proved frustrating
