Very nice. I have a Rockhopper 29er which I love. I did upgrade the shock to a Recon Gold and it has made a world of a difference. The stock shock felt good for the first 6 months but then got sluggish. The weight difference is tremendous.
I am looking into making it a 1 X 10 drivetrain since in Florida we don't have that many hills. I have ridden it hard and it is still doing great.
Enjoy!
