My 951 works super great. Cornering is its absolute destiny! No bike goes better round.The bike it could be compared with would be the sunday with more ramp up at the end and better pedaling effency. You're using a lot of travel but without bottoming out.Accelerating is incredible great!
I Love it!
i got 75kg and us a 400lbs spring in a Fox RC4.

the bike works great. pedals very well for a Dh bike. extrememly stable at speed, and rails the corners. its travel is very lively, but its very managable. i weigh 170lbs and im running a 500lb spring. i spent 7 days at whistler with it and didn't bottom it. it worked flawless on all their terain.

no prob's def need a firmer spring but you will find that all the spring calc's (tf tuned, mojo etc..)recommend the spring wt that is fitted, I'd go 50 - 100 more depending on how aggressive a rider you are.

Hi, I've got mine down under 36lb now and quite regularly do xc rides on it! the spring weight is a little soft as the rear does fly thru the travel but i hear that even the team guys are finding them under sprung, I've since fitted a harder spring and its fine now.
Cornering is good and I haven't tried the lower bb setting yet, it excels at holding its line flat out on gnarly descents strewn with rocks and roots and gets up to speed super quick, the new rear shock has got to be the best out there!
I did have problems innitially with chain line using a diabolous rf chain set but have just changed to a fsa gravity light which shaved almost 300g and has the best chain line I've ever had on a dh bike! I'm using an e13 srs chain device.
Hope all this helps and that you can get hold of one, mine is one of 5 in the UK at the moment so pretty rare!!

It takes what ever terrain you trow at very well: technical, steep, rock gardens, roots, everything!!! I am very happy with it, you should get one... I think you can race DH this bike too.

It rides very well, I found it super fun, super stable, corners really well, jumps good, and it is fast. Super strong and because of this a little heavy, mine is 17.1kg (37.7 pounds), I often say "I it a Nomad with steroids" and it can be pedal, slow but it can go up.
