I competed in a technical XC race last weekend with steep uphills/downhills and big roots. The bike's suspension was excellent, providing full travel on descents and firm support on climbs without bobbing.
I like it much more than epic clone ;D

MTB in its nature ;D

Hi everyone, I’m seriously considering of buying this frame, it’s been suggested in another topic that I opened about best 120/120 downcountry frames, but I have few questions as you had already experience with it:
1. How is your general consideration after few months of use, did you have any issues, is it still a good quality frame? Any crack or break (I mean in a normal usage, not extreme jumping or similiar)
2. Did you have any issue in the building up, with weird measures, weird pieces or other stuff?
3. Is it possible to mount a 180 mm disk brake rotor on the rear, or just a 160 mm?
4. Did you have it painted by Hongfu (how is the paint quality? 2k clearcoat or less quality)? did you leave the black matte basic paint or did you paint it yourself?
5. Is there a big difference between the superlight frame and the normal one in terms of weight? The superlight version is still reliable or is it more fragile? Did they use different materials or less carbon?
Thanks so much in advance!! I know that are many questions, but I want to be sure to do the right thing, I know that is cheaper than an official brand frame, but it’s still a lot of money!

1. No issues at all for this summer. No creaks or sounds. Washed it many-many times. Lots of dirty races....
2. Shock remote lockout is a tricky part to setup. Links bolts are not so easy access.
3. Have no idea :)
4. Gloss black. Because it's lighter than painted :)
5. I own only SL, they say its 100gr difference. For 100$ extra, superlight version is a no brainer for me. SL version does not have additional limitations.
