Every once in a while, the demands of the terrain and the people who ride that terrain are such that a blunt instrument is the preferred tool for the job. Something built like a proverbial two wheeled brick shithouse - sure handling, simple, a heavy duty aluminum frame with a massive 20mm pivot axle swinging the rear suspension through 180mm of travel, and 135mm q.r rear end, and a 1.5" head tube. It's the perfect sledgehammer for demolishing big obstacles.
