Up for sale is my favorite bike that I am giving up for the 29er craze. This light-weight bike is a fantastic machine to learn how to take your riding off road to the trail. It's got component upgrades to make it lighter (27 pounds) than usual.
I'm 6'2" and weigh 200. I found I rode single trail much better with this bike than with a hard tail. This bike is setup for bigger riders and has normal markings of wear and tear from trail use. The bike is light and the suspension is designed to makes it easier to pedal up hills without bobbing like cheap full suspensions do.

It's a great, intermediate XC bike. I need to sell so I can upgrade my other bikes.
The photo shows some abrasive use of the rear Crossmax.
