When any bike manufacturer goes to the board trying to crank out a big hitting hard tail, they use only one yardstick. The mighty Sasquatch has long been the benchmark for freeride hardtails and try as they may, other brands can only follow in its giant footsteps whilst waiting for the Sasquatch's possible extinction. We think they'll be waiting a looong time yet! Long live the King at a massive $500 off.
