Just got it on Friday, and was able to get in a long ride in Bidwell Park on Saturday before it started raining. So far, it's a fantastic bike with just a very smooth feel to it. I took it on some rough trails: rock gardens, lava cap, loose tennis-ball sized rock areas, steep uphill and downhill, and some tight and technical sections. I was surprised that despite the bigger wheels than my old 26" hardtail, this bike handled even better.
