1. I love this bike. First off upgrade to tubeless tires (it comes with tubeless ready rims but not tubeless tires), I replaced the grips with ODI clamp ons and the pedals with Race Face Chester, those are worthwhile upgrades for sure. I am happy with the seat as well. I no longer ride anything but MTB trails north of Tucson because it's so much more fun (I'm retired and can go whenever I please), some of them pretty intense but this bike is tough and nimble. Superb on a flow style trail, very fast. Tough going uphill over large rocks in tight trails with those big wheels but goes over them downhill just fine. I crashed a few times pretty hard with no damage. We were rear ended on the 101 in LA a while back and it destroyed the Kuat rack, pushed the bike into the tailgate gouging it and requiring bodywork but the bikes were pretty OK, I replaced the rear wheel and derailleur hanger and that was it besides some scratches, wife's needed only a new brake disk. Tough bikes!

3. is it good for jumping on ramps an staff
4. just baught it great bike
5. Hey!! Loved your review!! Thnx!! I just wana know. Which frame size should i get!! I am 6 feet tall!!
6. Hello, i'm thinking on buying this model, how much do you weight? I want to get an idea on the bike's resistance.
7. Today marks a month I've had mine I've also put it through a ton of use it gets trails everyday and I absolutely love it no problems whatsoever, I do wanna put a wider handle bar little bit shorter stem and dropper post on it somewhere down the line I'll switch it to a 1x but that's just my riding preference it's been absolutely fantastic so far stock no complaints at all tires have been pretty good as well trails are mostly hard pack in my area but there's been a few times I've wanted a little more traction but like you said I'm planning on wearing them out and then upgrading, glad to see your lovin yours too! Thanks for the vid
8. I looked at the scott 710 specs and I still would buy the trek over the scott . trek gives better wheels and hubs and a better front fork .
9. I can also say Ive had no problems with the 2016 rockshox air fork . I prefer this fork over a suntour fork .
10. good question I would have to ride the scott bike to see . I do like the feel of the g2 geometry on the trek . The trek xcaliber 9 fits me well very comfortable to ride and I can maneuver it well.
11. Thanks for the update. If cost was the same, would you still prefer it over a Scott bike with similar components? (Aspect 710 or Scale 770)
