My friend's Dart 1 has been taken down stairs and 1 foot drops and he weighs around 190lbs. Gets all the travel it was made for, and still holding strong. We go riding once or twice a week for about 20 miles on some light XC and a few jumps here and there.
So...my point is, you only hear about the bad stuff on the internet. Just sayin'...
Just ride it till it breaks.
