The ProAxe makes me want to push myself harder and ride even longer. I can hardly wait to push it to the limits and see if she can hang. A note to the MTB Review Article regarding stiffness, I haven't ridden the Klein, but if it's any stiffer than this, I dont think I would want it. Check out their site, these guys know what they are doing. Quick, relatively light, absorbs knee destroying jolts, climbs like a dream, and basically handles better than everything I've ridden.
Paint tends to come off easily.
I was climbing and whippin through technical single-track like it was nothing. It's acceleration is amazing. Everyone who test rides it comments on how fast it accelerates. The geos make this a great technical climber and the frame keeps the traction over rocks and roots. Overall, this actually feels like an extension of my body instead of a machine that I'm pedalling.
