    I just picked up a Sanction 3.0 . I am riding a medium and im a big guy at 6'2". It is very comfortable actually. It is a great bike so far but a little hard to climb with. I was worried about the fork, a suntour durolux, but it is holdin' up well!

    Wow, that would seem like a small bike for your size, I don't doubt the hill climbs are uncomfortable. Perhaps, you and friends shuttle to the top and then you enjoy the downhill geometry.
    I wish you the best.

    He's not being honest....BRAKES are a weakness, especially as the rider becomes heavy, like me XL,.

    He may be being honest based on his experience. Reviews are just that, someones opinion and the buyer/consumers job is to mine through the reviews and find the consistencies and feature/benefits that best suit their needs.

    Not taking a shot at you, just saying....:beer:
