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.

Hey! To get a Vh include some more of your personal opinion, also include information such as where you can buy it from offline and online, who it is best suited to-the professional bike-rider or anyone?, can you get insurance for it?, all the features it has, what makes it unique to other bikes etc! Also if you use seperate headings ofr each new section it will make your work easier to read! If you edit it please let me know and I will happily re-rate! Lisa x x x
