The Razorback is a David Turner design that K2 liscence's from Turner bikes. Its the same basic design as his Stinger, which btw he no longer makes due to the proprietory rear shock that costs an arm and a leg. The K2 design lacks the horst links at the rear drop outs, so is not quite as active a bike as the stinger, but is a well thought out bike otherwise. It tends towards XC racing/riding and would be inappropriate for freeride use, but is an excellent all day type trailbike. It will soak up small to mid size bumps very well, but founder in big hit territory. They tend to make light complete bikes with good component choices. Choose a good 80-90mm travel fork for best geometry since 100mm travel plus forks will raise the BB too high and slacken the bikes handling traits.

Is that a more detailed answer for you dude?
