ye man its super sweet on the trails too, i run it front brake only, so its not the best, but i've seen people with the whole 2 brake/gears set up and it seems to work all good. it can take up to 120 on the front too which is nice of the extra bounce if you run it soft. I did a couple of weeks out in Leogang (austria) slope/fr/dh park and it was all good, pretty fast etc. The sx would probs be best if you want a bit of both... but get a short frame otherwise it'll be a bit of a strain if you'r doing all the spins and stuff... its still possible thought. otherwise i could suggest the transition bottlerocket... thats pretty good for both...
