Agreed - I have a 2016 c7.2. Brilliant bike, I have ridden it heaps up and down the east coast and a couple of days at Stromlo. I am looking at upgrading the wheels to the 7.1 spec (ex1501 dt Swiss), though I might go for something else.Cash well spent mate. i only had mine a couple months before i fractured my wrist, but rode it at a few places with a good variety of terrain and riding styles, and I'm yet to find something it didn't love. I have a dh bike for the super gnar, but the sight handles anything else with ease. If you don't like it, you don't like riding bikes!!
I think you will be very happy.
