I built it as a jack-of-all-trades freeride/extreme XC orientated hardtail. I can thwack the seatpost down and its perfect for dirt/street/4X, but I have used it from everything from trials to downhill too. Its not an ideal tool for any of these jobs - but it's a good compromise.
I have had lodas of stick about the bars, but they work for me.
