Considering the current National Champion rode one to victory, and the winner of the National DH series rides one, I think it is safe to say it's a very good bike. What do you think??

Have a look on the MTBR forum, there is a quite in-depth write-up, and a couple of photos......It looks pretty dam good and supposedly rides like that as well

Check out the latest AMB mag, they rated the goose number one out of 4 dh bikes, with the glory second.
RRP is $5399 I think the story said,

If its your first downhill bike here are the things i have picked up that you need to know.

How it pedals, make sure it dosn't just bop up and down.
Try as many bikes as you can.
Make sure it is a length and the right gematry that makes you feel comfortagle.

But if i were you and were going to choose out of those to i would go for the standard as your first downhill bike, you can always upgrade some bits if you like:)

In the end it is ultimateley your choice, some hate them some love them.
