I have a friend who had a komodo. It's definately the worst freeride hardtail I've EVER tried. I tried doing some basic things, bunnyhops, trackstands, surges, lurches, and I had to put every effort in my body to do them, and they were all miniscule. The bike seemed wayyy too long and the angles were really really weird.

I would strongly discourage anyone from getting a Komodo.
