Okay, so Ive had my CForce 800 XC for all of three weeks now.
From a complete newb point of view.

HELL YEAH.
I am not disappointed in the least.
It has handled everything Ive asked out of it and done it well.

I know some people have had some issues but I suspect some of it might be dealership (particularly Canada) related at least in my limited experience.
The thing RIDES GREAT.

It handles pretty well, could turn maybe a bit tighter but a bit of drift fixes that.
It runs well.

I just did the 20 hour break in service and it is really a pretty easy machine to work on.

From the POV of someone who started wrenching when I tore down my first bicycle and painted it when I was seven and have been wrenching and riding since then . .

This thing is pretty easy to work on.

Thats a huge thing for me.

runs well, drives well.
Almost as fun as  . . (bleep) . . . and easy to take care of?

Ill take it.

Yep, about the same review for my CForce 600
