Chris,

awesome full suspension bike! was wondering how the epic 26" handled on the road, ie does it feel like a pogo stick due to it being a full susp bike? I ride my hardtail on the road a lot, but wanted to upgrade to a full susp, but am worried about the decrease in efficiency of duel susp vs hardtail. would appreciate your feedback. thanks
