ardents are alright not very good in the mud though, pretty fast rolling with little resistance and good cornering grip cause of the nice blocks on the side of the tyre, Yh Sram X0 front and rear mech and shifters
i had a go on eds he needs to do something about those high rollers makes it a bit of a pain to pedal otherwise not a bad bike. Im liking long travel hardtails more and more especially those Stanton Bikes Slackline nom nom nom
