Love this bike package! It’s configured with great components and fits nicely (I am 5’9”) This is the smoothest setup I have ever ridden and is confidence inspiring. Handles like a caddy on rails.

Look, this bike is amazing in general but if you really are going to spend 11 thousand dollars on a bike you shouldn't be getting zeb select+. for that price you should be getting flight attendant. Im not hating on specialized i have a stumpjumper, but specialized really needs to up its game a bit. Overall the bike is absoloutely destroying the trails though

This bike is an absolute beast, it swallows bumps and roots like a dh bike but has the playful ability of a trail bike. it can handle anything you throw at it. it’s a must get

I was unsure about this bike. I ride my local trails a lot and do a ton of climbing. I was concerned that it was going to be a challenge. I was dead wrong. This bike pedals up hill and has a more generous seat tube angle than my hightower. It's fantastic. Of course the downhill is as you would expect. Highly recommend this bike as a quiver killer.

I've had this bike for a little over a year - the Expert build. Firstly about the bike: it's a confidence inspiring geo that convinced me to sell my 2017 Demo 8 downhill bike - don't need it anymore! This bike can go down the steepest chatter without flinching or losing track of where I want to ride, and unlike other AM bikes I've had (e.g. Santa Cruz Hightower) I don't feel that the rear end bounces around or loses traction even in heavy breaking. The spec is spot-on and nothing needed upgrading except for the dropper length which seems to have been fixed in the 2022 model (mine came with 170mm which isn't enough). The surprising part is the climb - I can climb *really* steep climbs with this bike. Yes it's heavy but the geo allows me to stay on the bike and keep pedaling leaning as much forward as I'd like. Another thing that's overlooked sometimes is the SWAT compartment. Definitely not a reason to choose a bike, but it's a very nice feature if you decide to get this one.
