I have changed for this bike 3 months ago (from a Lapierre overvolt) and I love this bike (game 7 for me). Climbing capacity is creasy and I am much more confident going down hill. Masses are well balanced which give real pleasure for the jumps. The bike is handy, I can manage hairpin turns I couldn't in the past. I took the L size ans not the XL despite my size 1m92 which is ok but the saddle stem was changed for a 190mm as the original one was too short. Few negative points exepct the original rear shock that I changed for the float X also proposed by Moustache. Can't wait to be on week-end to ride it😉
