yep, it is. for the $$ that i paid for the frame/rear shock, i was able to build it up with the stuff i wanted, and still spend less than about $1600. the Boxxer Ride makes the bike, overall, that and the platform shock in back. drop the travel down to ride up, then have it at 7" coming back down. love it!
it's been really nice; pedals up what i need, to get down. Bullit clone, obviously. i've compared it side to side with a couple. geo and pivot locations is pretty much the same, but the tubeset on this rocks. plenty of tire/rear rotor room (a problem on older Bullits) nice simple single pivot, quite large sealed bearings.
just had the first ride the other day with the E-13 direct mount stem. very nice.
36.2# as is. another 1.5# when i throw the DH rubber on.
my first fully, coming from beefy hardtail background. still ride the hardtail most of the time, but this is seeing more and more use. can't wait for the resorts, and higher up rides to be free of snow now! had the bike since last year, and only managed to hit keystone once with it.
