This Hardtail is amazing, it is currently my main bike and I do not desire much more. Everything Specialized claims about this bike is 100% true. It is a hardtail that rides like an enduro bike. I would go on a stretch and say I would race light enduro on this. The Shimano Deore M5100 is as reliable as it gets, I have smashed it into rocks, trees, you name it, I have smashed the rear mech into, it still shifts like a dream.The only thing that I think should be changes is the Judy Silver TurnKey, the damper does not have compression and narrower than desirable stantions. It still feels amazing though, the judy is als amazinly reliable though. I would highly recomend this to anyone from a beginner to even a pro looking for a hardtail. Ps- Pedals well too.

Have been eyeing reviews and discussions about this bike since its release in 2021. Seemed the most suited, stylish and decent spec'd hardtail in this price point (under $2000 CAD!) for general needs in my terrain. Mid pandemic made It difficult to any bike let alone this one, luckily I have just found one in my size, new backstock from a retailer in BC Canada. It just arrived last week via domestic courier and I've ridden it every day since. Nimble indeed! Perfect Geometry for both light trail work and even long XC... and just a beautiful sight to behold!

I recently purchased this bike, it looks amazing and was looking for something more nimble than my 29er dual suspension rig. This feels light, quick, nimble and surprised me on the descents those big tires really soak up a lot of chatter...so pleased.

absoulutely fantastic bike, definitely recomend it especially for the money. great bike to get you started and to get you in to mountain biking overall a great bike which is fast up hills and also downhill!

I have had this bike for about 2 months now and am Impressed. It is great to ride on trails. The dropper post seat is helpful. I have not had any problems with this bike so far. This is a great bike for trail riders.

i love this bike as my everyday ride, i use it on road, jumps and tech. it is an great all round bike and all my friends want one. i also have a youtube chanel so if you want to see some one sread this bike go to kyles mountan bikeing

Can't say anything bad about it. 100% happy. Performs great on single track, fire road downhills, and uphills. Always had gears to spare on steep uphills. In muddy and rutty trails, the 2.8 tires ate it up. Thought they would be a bit too big coming from a 2.1, but love em!!

I do trail riding 2 to 3 times a week. I really love how this bike performs. The 2.8"" wide tires have great grip. This bike has plenty of climbing gear. I actually prefer the 1x11 drivetrain over a 1x12. You still get a 51 tooth climbing gear and one less gear in between. Simple, well made, and pretty light compared to other similar models.

Very cool, slick, and fun bike with sturdy and confidence on downhill, and a good gear for uphill.

The fuse is the perfect bike for someone if they don't want to have to service front and rear suspension it has big 2.8 inch tires and 130 mm of suspension. When I ride this I am always sending new things because of the confidence this bike gave me. 10 out of 10
