Seems a nice bit of kit but I can't really find any reviews on them. Anyone had/ridden one
nice bikes but i'd be wary of buying an '09 as that was the year they had a lot of failures. I had an '08 and loved it. Really regret selling it 🙁 My one didn't crack, and AFAIK the new owner is using it for jumping and it's still reet.
Failures with?? Bro in law has just parted with his coin! It's his first full suss and it looks in mint condition! I'd read nowhere about failures, have all the previous reviews been removed for that reason 😯

The problem is frame cracking, around the shock mountings and front linkage pivots. Like i said, mine lasted through all my abuse and i'm a fatto.
A lot of frames have cracked. I would be giving the frame a very good going over. Many posts about it on most mtb sites
😥 let's hope this ones a tuffy!!!
