In FL. there's no real DH or really all mountain stuff so this Redline hard tail 29er is sweet ! it weighs around 25lbs and flies through the soft stuff the Reba fork is only 100mm but fine for most anything around here , 29er is a little less flickable but feels like you have an electric motor on XC rides plus it climbs well . We just got back from 3 days of riding in Tallahassee which has some great rides for Florida and I was impressed with this bike .
