I will keep an eye on it and if it change anything I will contact them. Its 2 year warranty. And im going to race national enduro series with it.

First impression compared to my orbea rallon r5 after a little ride and jumpig. More poppy, its slack, original geo is with 571mm axel to crown. with fox 38 170 its 63.5 with 76.5 seattube. Floppy in slow pace. Buttery smood initially with good midstroke. Did some 40-50cm drops and there was no problem with bottoming out.

alexhell:
First race done and some serius bikepark laps.
Positiv:

- The frame is durable and can withstand some abuse. Even after a bad landing from a jump, it remained in one piece.
- It handled a 2-meter road gap jump without issues.
- On race day, it pedals efficiently and felt solid without anything coming loose, even after 5.5 hours of training plus 4 hours of racing.

Negativ:

- With 170mm of travel and a rising curve at the end, the bike has a high leverage ratio when paired with a 210x55 shock. This results in the rear shock, a Fox Float X, needing 240psi to achieve 30% sag.
- The rear shock endures a hard life, and if you weigh above 90kg, this bike may not be suitable for you.
