I bought this to upgrade my aged xc bike that was making modern race courses and trails rather challenging. Id gone to a lot of trouble to get the setup right both for my fit and nice handling but the results really are awesome.
I had concerns over chatter in the 32mm fork as my old fox wasn't great but to be fair this more modern one is great. No need to upgrade to a 34.
I never used the SRAM gears, swapped them for XT straight away so no advice on that.
This is the only dropper post I've used so not much to compare against but it seems fine.
The wheels and tyres are a heavy combination, no doubt where some of my new found confidence has come from. Would I keep the tyres? Probably if I was exclusively off road but I tend to find even on the road bits linking off road trails they are slow. Medium to long term I'll probably get a second set of wheels that are more racey.
Overall a lovely frame though, really good, contemporary geometry.
