If you have the budget...

Its the next gen to the Id, which is probably the nicest bike I have ever ridden. So I bet this is the bees knees.
As for going ridgid. Depends on your trails. How hardcore they are. Can't say I'm a fan of them in any case. I used to run a Hardtail that was dead nippy and I can't imagine going back to the Surrey Hills on a ridgid bike. However if you do have the budget, and are doing rougher stuff a high end full sus is the way to go. They aint worth it on a lower budget. Personally I think you need to spend at least a grande on the frame if you do that. I think I still have some bits at my parents house. Including a Manitou Black from about 7 or 8 years ago that could defo do with a check up, but is still a sexy fork.
