The "plus" tires give great traction. The thing is no featherweight @32 pounds but it's a lot of fun to descend on.
Another thing it has is a dropper seatpost. I never had one before but now I am a believer. I will never have another mtb without a dropper. I highly recommend a dropper regardless of the bike you ride.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a FS bike but have hesitated because I have no expert level trails here, nor any expert level skills. But I do enjoy the comfort of my front suspension even when on relatively smooth dirt so I suspect I would enjoy a FS even though it is not needed for my riding. I have no argument with a comfortable ride.
