I just used some points I had at Performance to get myself a 2018 Absolute 2.1 and I like so far. Putting it together has been fairly straight forward and it rides well.
Update: I just took it out on some packed gravel for a 10 mile ride and it was fairly comfortable. Certainly worth the price it was listed (under 400$).
