I have the 2009 version of this Bike with the remote fork lockout. The 2010 version is changed very little with just the bolt through fork. The bikes frame size is just the right size for my liking with not to much of a long top tube. The Rear shock setup can take some time to get right but one you understand it and have the settings in your head it really is easy and for once does actually work according to the manual. The ability to change between 150mm, 100mm and lock out at the back with the flick of a lever is great and you find yourself using it all the time. The Talas wind down fork is very plush and I have just ended up leaving it at the 150mm as it's a bit of a hassle to keep stopping and winding up or down. It is a shame it doesn't work with a remote level like the rear shock. All the kit is good, wheels a bit cheap for a £3000 but have changed the chainset and shifter to XTR as had these already on another bike.

All in all I am very pleased with the bike and its great for almost everyone as it can do just so much. Perfect for the trail centre climbs which I normaly struggle with and then with 150mm at the back it can rip on the descents.
