Bought this 4 months ago and ripped trails up and down...brought it to lift access bike parks (and built one in the meantime) and used 100% of the bikes capability most of the time.
Having an air bike is nice - the small bump compliance and ease of pedaling really shines with the Reign. You could feel it using all the travel, especially in the rear and I thought 150mm was a bit long for 32mm stanchions. I sold it to a really nice fellow named Lance who will enjoy it hopefully as much as I did.
Picked this up today. Immediate difference in how the bike pedals - suffers on small bumps and the bob is more apparent. Once the tires leave the ground though it's a whole different ball game. It's almost as if the bike is bored if it's not dropping off stuff or smashing through root/rock gardens. The half cassette has got to go though, wow.
I prefer the '10 colour schemes anyway.
