Nah man, it's an 07 that was ridden pretty good even before I got it. About three years ago. Got a cheap deal on the frame, which in retrospect wasn't so great considering it is just not a good fit. Have never really felt comfy on the thing. Hardly ever rode it other than at the lifts, because it was such a freakin' pig, and very unwieldy on our tight and twisty stuff. OTOH, when things got super steep and ******** fast, it really shined. The Reign-X feels awesome so far.

Bigger than I need for most of my local riding, but there are enough spots to make it worth having, plus still being able to take the lift served stuff around here. That's where the -1* headset will come in handy. It's about 66* and 14" BB height with the 7" fork - the Works C. cups will let me get slacker without raising the BB higher.

Long story short: I wanted a big hit bike that could survive the lifts, but not be unwieldy on the local trails.

If you had to have a one bike quiver, this would be a good call. Dropper post, different tires/wheels for different days and you'd be set.
