Some of my trail is still snow covered but I still got a nice ride in today after noodling around with the youts on their machines for an hour or so. The compliance of the rear suspension suprised me and it was a little noisier than I anticipated. I think the rear suspension gave me more traction on steep climbs and I know the front gave me more control on twisty downhill single-track.
I can't wait to get out again!
