Upgraded to a AMS Pro RX 3 months ago after a GT Avalanche hardtail. Love it! Already done 1000 k's, am 85kg and been rocketing down breedts a few times at speeds where everything is blurring in front of me. It's the AMS 100, so not really All Mountain, but very fast on the home run. For someone used to riding AM marathon bikes or something like a Anthem this bike might seem a bit uncomfortable in the beginning, but the XC config really askes for foot to the pedal and speeds up quickly! So far everything is still as new. I would recommend frame protection on chain stay and where cables run. Usual rules apply, clean the bike often, check pivots before serious rides and make sure they are tight. Lube and set sag. Standard bearings on all pivots. I am 1.75m and went for a Medium 18" and fitted a longer stem 120mm FSA os150.
