This rig kicks ass. DW-Link rear end, 150mm rear end, 7" of travel front and rear (and can take 8" up front by swapping in a Marz 888 or a Foz 40 for DH), and a 66.7 degree head angle, its shits and gets and then some. I can pedal up hill to my favorite trail head and bomb it. I live in Texas, so when I was looking for a new bike it HAD to be pedal friendly. When I heard how well the 7 Point does around the world, I had to have one and now I do and couldn't be happier.

That looks like a rad bike... don't know too much about full susp. mtb... can you lock out the rear for uphill? do you find you need to lock out much? just curious

No, Its a DW-Link rear end and its very pedal friendly compared to alot of the other big travel bikes. The suspension is very progressive and the geo is spot on for the gnarliest freeriding I can do. I love it.
