    Absolute joy to ride!

    Replaced my stolen Trek I rode for 12yrs. Actually have the 2019 because I wanted 3 chainrings. After riding a few Specialized with this style frame geometry, I'm convinced they've scientifically figured out how to make the ride so SMOOTH. Feels like a cushion of air, yet supporting a solid firm ride. Hydro' brakes are superb. Hefty Suntour forks are truly adjustable for dirt & lockout. Shifts quick & quietly. I even love the stock tires. Riding the XL frame, I did add a stem w/a bit more rise. Lots of control. No question it's the best MTB ride I could find in this price range. This is certainly a well designed bike.
