I have the 700LTD model with the cool tribal flame job.I think this is one of the most versatile bikes on the market.You can set it laid back for downhill and in minutes have it in more of a cross country race mood.4in front and 4.5 in of usably plush travel.If you want a bike for everything,than this is it.

Pros:
Magura disk brakes, Fox rear shock, and super-plush Lefty front fork
Cons:
Mega-9 speed Shimano cogset on rear frequently auto-shifts and hard to keep in tune. Frame squeaks alot. Cable routing for front derailleur on one-piece swingarm is tightly angled, making shifting somewhat difficult

The combo of disk breaks and plush suspension makes you fearless on this bike. Pushes you past your previous limits and encourages you to ride harder.
Don't know if I'd buy this bike again, though --- $2100 should buy you a quiet, solid bike ........ This bike squeaks like mad no matter how much lube is applied in all the usual places. I hate the frame cause of the noise. The local shop can't seem to quiet it down. Don't buy this bike if you enjoy the silence while riding....
