having ridden a bike yesterday that ive never seen in the flesh before ( Orange patriot ) with 180 Fox 36 up front and a DHX at rear with a dropper post, double and bash plus wide bars, id say it came close to a one bike does it all, could hit the jumps at Danbury with ease and pop seat up and ride back to top. was a bit more weight than a Zesty but much lighter than a DH bike and the shock/fork fully adjustable so can be set firm for XC/AM and soft for gravity stuff. And it look seriously sexy in green with white wheels...
patriot's are an extremely capable bike
if one came up at a suitably low price i'd get involved
