Its a nice ride, especialy if you like to ride all day. I am not 100% sold on the idea of it being a true suspension frame but, but as you put power in the frame does feel like it stiffens, so its stiff on the climbs or when sprinting, and a softer ride when pottering along.
The plus side is it looks cool, for more info on the concept have a look at http://www.slingshotbikes.com/technology/slingpower
