I have a Supreme DH and a Meta 6. Both had to have a little adjustment when I got them, washers in the wrong spots nothing serious. See the post about the Super 4 vs. Trek and I explain it.
That not withstanding my Supreme DH has been flawless this summer racing. I've been to 4 DH races so far. I'm a front of the pack CAT 2 rider and I weigh 200 pounds even. So put that into perspective, the bike is taking a fair beating from me. Like I said, zero issues so far.
They are single pivots so you'll feel rocks a little more than with a VPP bike. But they (both of mine) are very consistent and the contact system keeps the suspension feeling linear. They are also really easy to work on.
I wasn't a fan of single pivots until I rode one of these, changed my whole perspective.
I have a Commencal Supernormal hardtail that I love. I got turned on to Commencal, because I like having a different bike than everyone else on the trails. When I found out that Cedric Gracia left Cannondale to go to Commencal, this made me think that he did so for a good reason. This is hands down, the best climbing hardtail that I have ridden to date. If you inspect the rear triangle, you will see why. I get many compliments on the rear triangle of the Supernormal especially the seatstay and rear dropout :thumbsup:
