Someone has to have a Krampus! My riding buddy has one, and once it gets up to speed, it takes some stopping!
I have a Krampus Ops, it's a real bowling ball of a bike.
I found it under-braked and seriously over-geared from factory. Also had to cross-lace (as in, cross-lace side-to-side, so LH hub spoke goes to RH rim hole and vice versa) the front wheel to fit XT brakes, as otherwise the spokes clipped the caliper on hard cornering. Also came with crap finishing kit.
Otherwise, love it. You still have to ride it like a rigid bike - pick your lines and needs a lot of skill through rock gardens/jumps/drop offs - it's so much more rewarding than FS, but so much more comfortable than any other rigid I've ridden.
