I've never ridden one, but if you want to talk about bang for your buck...
(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) Apparently they will be available soon in the US. A work friend who is looking to get on a full squish asked me what I thought about this. After looking it over I can't seem to find a better value (on paper at least). Even the YT Jeffsy can't compete when it comes to specs vs. sticker price.
$2400
FS Aluminum 150/140 trail bike with modern GEO (66.1º HT, 74.1º ST)
Proven Horst link type design.
GX Eagle 12 speed drivetrain
RS Pike fork
SRAM Guide R brakes (to some this is a negative, I prefer them)
Wide DT Swiss Wheels
Dropper Post included
6 year warranty*
There are, of course, downsides to mail order bikes...
-No opportunity to try before you buy.
-Some assembly required.
-No local bike shop support for first tune-up.
-*Online warranty claims can be like pulling teeth.
-No warm and fuzzy feeling that you get from supporting a local small business.
But if you're sure of the geometry and suspension design, good with a wrench, and feeling a little lucky in that you will never need to test the warranty, it is a good option.
