You're getting a high-end bike at a great price - with frame features like Boost148 and ABP for confident handling and room for upgrades to tailor the bike to your skills. In terms of performance, it can easily compete with much more expensive trail bikes, rocks every single trail, and also handles occasional XC or enduro races. Thanks to the dropper seat post, you can lower the seat while riding so it's not in the way on descents. The DebonAir spring of the RockShox suspension fork is lighter than a steel spring and can be easily adjusted to the rider's weight.
