Surely you can go to a shop, and try one out?

IIRC though, they are very hard to get hold of atm though. Same with the mini DH frames.. (I got the last one from the distributor for the year)

I have - its very nice.
Its a pretty big burly bike but easy to chuck around.

I test rode one from this shop www.torico.co.uk in Dorset.
UK Bike park is just up the rode from the shop and is a great place go for a test ride - make sure its not wet though!

I've got one :-D

First off, if you want something for out and out downhill, get a Supreme. The Furious, although it can handle speed, it's not as stable doing it.

However, if you want something that's totally chuckable, loves to be airbourne and feels totally stable at the same time, yet is nimble and easily manouevered at low speed, get a Furious.
I wouldn't swap mine for anything, but I'm the kind of rider wherby if going fast, or going high are the two options, I'll opt for going high.
