MORE TRACTION - MORE CONTROL
For a suspension system to be of any real benefit to a
rider it has to do two main things. Firstly, it must
take the harshness off the trail, absorbing the bumps
and making the rider more comfortable; most of today's
designs do this. However, the biggest potential
benefit of suspension is to improve traction - and
this has been largely overlooked by most other brands.


With 5" of balanced suspension, these bikes are
designed for the largest diversity of riding styles.
The new monocoque main frame increases lateral
rigidity and the monopivot suspension results in
efficient power transfer and plush performance.

Basically this Bike is the Subaru Impreza Turbo of the bike world, with looks to kill and performance & handling that no other bike will give you.

Bought it with my Loan money, now selling cause i gotta save up/pay my tuition fee's for September (typical students eh)

Can I suggest in order for you to sell your bike, you do some Market research on the price......

Its only worth about £450.00 -£500.00max secondhand even in good nick. The new version which has far a superior groupset and frame can be bought for new £850.00.

This post is to help you sell it. Not having a "Pop" for fun

I recently parted with 1K for a mountain bike. I would have liked this one

Hope you have success selling it. Have you tried any bike forums?
