The remedy 9.8 ploughs through the gnarly stuff, but still likes getting loose on jumps & berms wait for me, said no remedy rider ever, this bike has a lot of travel, but its also extremely quick on the flats & climbs re:aktiv with thru shaft works faster than a normal shock, so it tracks the ground better & keeps you in control it has all the latest tech that adds up to a great ride, like carbon wheels with a 54-tooth rapid drive hub, mino link adjustable geometry & boost 148/110 hub spacing
