Verdikts

+Stiprās puses

63 degree head angle gives genuine enduro confidence on technical descents
CrMo steel provides natural compliance that aluminum hardtails lack
DH-spec brakes (203mm rotors, 4-piston) are serious hardware at this price

−Vājās puses

Steel adds weight - noticeably heavier than equivalent alloy hardtails on climbs
Two frame sizes (Regular/Grande) limits fit precision compared to 5-size lineups
Hardtail rear will punish on truly rowdy terrain that the slack geo invites
