From what I know pretty good. DH wanted one but the LBS that sold them went under before he got a new bike. Not much feedback but enough.

I don't see too many around here, but one of my buds rides one and she really likes it. She rides really hard and it takes it well. I like the paint job with the maple leaves.

I have on '05 Element 70 and love it. It's the perfect bike for me. My hubby has the Team edition Etsx and my boss has an Etsx 70, both are very happy with them. I know a lot of riders with them where I live and I haven't heard of any complaints.

My friend just broke his frame at the weld on the seat post tube on his Slayer. He's tall and strong, but not that heavy (190 lbs.).

Generally, their cross country bikes have an excellent reputation.

I find their DH bikes to be quite on the heavy side, however. Most DH bikes are. I suppose I'm spoiled by the one I'm on, which is very much NOT a heavy DH bike.

If it's cross country that you are after, then a Rocky is a safe bet. As always, just make sure the fit is dialed for you.
