The DirtBag is built for the classic freerider that must be able to handle any stunt, jump or drop in front of them as well as pedal to the top. If you are looking for a great all around freeride bike that is plush for the rough stuff but still quick and maneuverable on skinnies, jumps and singletrack, the DirtBag won’t disappoint. The DirtBag is our sentimental favorite bike that is constantly winning over riders for its versatility and burliness.

Personally, I believe it is the best bike I have ridden. The suspension is extremely predictable and handles great through the roughest terrain(east coast usa). I personally think the dirtbag, despite mine being a little of 46lbs is the most maneuveralble bike I have ever ridden. (over the blindside, bottlerocket, ecd, booter, fury). It also jumps extremely well with hardly any effort.
That being said, this is NOT a climbing bike. It does however excel in anything downhill with great agility. Anyone who wants a second bike to go along with their race bike, or even just a smaller travel dh bike, this is a great one to choose.
