[...] You aren't capable of flexing the rear wheel. You are flexing the swingarm and the linkage plates. Sorry, humans JUST aren't that strong, [...]

Suprisingly well balanced full suspension bike. With the Fow Float R rear shock you will see and feel very little flex during pedaling. Great climber. Frame geometry makes navigating east coast singletrack trails remarkably easy and provides a very nimble feel, while still being able to chew up fast downhill runs with no problem.
Fortunately the ONLY con to this bike is the rear wheel flex caused by high torque loads in low gear. This causes a little rubbing on the inside left of the rear frame.
Other than that, this bike is perfect for someone looking to take it to the next level.
