Probably an awesome street/DJ bike... a bit on the heavy side for trials. You'll find the fork a bit too long.

Best suspension fork i've found is '05 Marzocchi All Mountain 1. Which i can drop the travel to 30-40 mm on the fly. A tad heavy though... but rides okay for trials.

I'm not a fan of SRAM except for their cassettes and chains.

Best things i see on this bike is the brakes and the fork. Don't know about their frame.

My two cents!!

A mate of mine is sponsored by solid for 4X and rides the harlem! It is a really nice all round riding bike and with the right set up will do most things, His main uses for the bike are for 4X, But he reckons its good on Dirt jumps, Freeride and for street aswell so if this is the sort of thing your looking for they sound recommendable.
