What you'll love

• You get a high-end ride at an exceptional value with frame features like Boost148 and ABP that give you confident handling and room to upgrade parts as your skills grow
• It has the capability of far more expensive trail bikes: it shreds singletrack and can even handle the occasional XC or enduro race
• The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it's out of the way on descents
• The RockShox fork's DebonAir spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it's lighter than a coil spring
