I dunno, I had a P.3, (esentially the same bike), and it wasn't bad for long rides, especially if you come from a BMX background. My P.3 essentially rode a lot like my cruiser. Due to the long travel fork, you sat very upright. I will agree, that it's not good for FAST XC rides, but that's more due to a squishy long travel fork on one burly bike. If you're just cruising, it's great!
