Pedals really well for what it weighs. After my second enduro on it, I felt more fresh from the climbs than I did on my fuel. The geo and anti-squat makes it very smooth to sit and spin uphill on.
Fellow owner here, I got the gen 6 (8) decked out with some dh casing tires and bit heavier breaks, it weighs 17 kilos in size L. I can say that you literally don't feel the weight while climbing, super nice position on the bike and the geo makes it a real nice ride.
