This was the first carbon bike I owned and I really liked everything about it. All the decals where simple but looked cool and matched my team kit. It had a pretty solid top of the line coil fork. Brakes where also very good. I did not like the factory selection of tires because Kenda Small Block Eights are not very grippy at all and are closer to road tires than anything. So I had to switch those out. The Carbon frame is very light makes this bike look very clean with internal routing for the shifting cables.
