The mission one is a bike that could not have existed just a couple years ago: a so-called entry level all-mountain bike that's as capable and tough as bikes that cost thousands of dollars more. As our knucklebox suspension design has evolved, the bikes that use it have become better-at every level. The mission one revolves around its tough-as-nails hydroformed aluminum frame with 160mm of FOX suspension travel front and rear. A wide range SRAM 1x10 drivetrain, Shimano hydraulic brakes (180mm rotors), and a tubeless-ready setup--what's not to love it's dropper-post ready, has a stiff 142x12mm thru-axle rear end, and just plain rips trails apart. If you're looking to ENTER the WATERS of go-anywhere, do-everything full suspension quiver killers, the mission one is the starting point.

Looks cool. Performs better.
This bike is amazing, and I agree with the other review that this bike is definitely the best bang for your buck. I'm used to traditional 21-speed mountain bikes so I was heading into this thinking it was going to be an adjustment knowing this is a 10-speed downhill bike; but make no mistake this bike climbs like a champ. 10 speeds on the mission is more than enough and I've never felt like I've needed more than that while riding it. The Fox 34 Float is unreal and also a major plus for this bike. It's easily adjustable on the fly to make the bike go from feeling like a trampoline to a hardtail. The bike also handles trails extremely well.The only con I can think of is that the bike pump that came with it is for a schrade valve, not a presta like what the bike has. I was a bit confused by this...Maybe I'm missing something? But either way that's easily addressed.Also, the bike comes mostly assembled. You just need to attach the saddle, handlebar and front wheel.Edit:By the way, here's what the pedals look like (I use my bike a lot so they've taken a few scratches by now)

Best Enduro bike for the money by far!
This bike is fantastic. It has great pedaling efficiency with almost no bob. With 160mm travel front and rear, this bike can take anything you throw at it. For an entry level enduro bike, this is the best bang for your buck by far!
