First none steel frame i have purchased and have not looked back. Its a completely different ride, excellent in all terrain. It is very light, anything that helps me get up those hills is a bonus.
Discs are amazing, once worn in they provide constant breaking performance. Definately worth paying the extra money for the disc option.
Fox float forks are an excellent accompliment to the bike. No problems have been encountered yet, fingers crossed
Used to own an Orange P7, great bike but not a patch on the 8500. XT/XTR components throughout give great realiabiliy and performance.
The build quility on the bike is good. It looks as if is going last and at that price I hope it is, but all in all it is a price worth paying.
