I'm a little familiar with that line, but have not ridden it long term

IMO its a fun bike to ride that is great for someone coming from BMX or MTB into urban riding. The big volume tires allow you to roll over anything, and the rollout is about the same as a 700c. The handlebars are higher than most hybrids. The headtube angle is steeper than modern MTB headtubes for quicker steering in the city. Unlike many MTBs, this bike has full rack and fender mounts

The position is more akin to a 29er, being more "between the wheels" as opposed to "over them," like on 26ers. Unlike 29ers, the wheel diameter doesnt get too large with 2" rubber

Modern Al frames are a great deal. They did a good job of speccing where it counts and to keep the price down without affecting performance. Schwalbe tires are nice.

Overall, I thnk its a good bike for aggresive urban riding with a bit of light trails/grass/parks. At 26-27lbs they are fairly lightweight for the price and 2" tires. They make for great commuters due to the low maintenance drivetrain and ability to mount fenders and racks. Hydarulic brakes make it even lower maintenance. If you have to walk up narrow windy stairs, the smaller diameter wheels are a bit easier to manage. The 2" tires give a soft ride without high maintenance suspension.

This is the type of bike that people used to make out of older frames and would make a good complement to a road bike or a good city bike for someone who wants to jump some curbs on the long way to work. I personally wouldn't mind one but have too many vintage MTBs to justify it.
