Only thing that might be a bit sketchy is the fork. Used to be a Fox Factory riders and feels completely different to all other 40's I've riden (5+). Feels a lot plusher than all of the other 40's I've rode and they have got theirs set up as soft as possible with the same spring. Thought I'd let you know anyway.
