Just bought this bike and it is the sickest bike I've ever had. I can actually lift it up when I'm jumping or even just trying to carry it. It's so agile and the low stand over height has saved my ass already.It's a good pedaler too. Darcy was right on the money. This bike is perfect for the girls who want good downhill riding abilities. Now they just need to come out with a line of Vixa's that have a little more suspension.:)
