Bought one about 6 months ago, in preference to a Giant Trance 2. The lockout for the rear shock really made the deal for me, as I do a fair bit of tarmac riding. Locking the rear suspension really reduces power-sapping bounce and sag when pedalling hard.
The only thing I'd complain about is the relatively poor OEM tyres. I've now swapped these for some High Rollers and all is sweet.
I have to add fifty three more words here in order to be able to rate the bike, so essentially this is all filler (thirty to go now) until I hit the magic number. Come and visit New Zealand, by the way, and bring your bike with you. It's well worth your while to do so.
