It came with a rather unique fork.
I tore down the Monkey frame that came with it, put the parts on the decomissioned Rig I had, trimmed up the cables a bit, and voila.
I only have a few commuting rides on it, and no real off road time.
I like the hub for the most part, but really need an extended trail ride to evaluate it.
I will need to reduce the gearing to 34/14 or 32/13 to get it to work on the trail for me. (Currently 40/17, ideal for commuting)
The fork is super, super plush, but is not going to work out for me. It requires at least an 80mm stem, and the minimum bar height is a little high for me for a hardtail. I could make it work I guess with highly swept flat bars, but don't really want to struggle with it. It would be perfect for a suspension frame, but I like the MM as is.
Fork and wheel $400 plus shipping.

Interesting to see how you like the hub. I got to spin around on one a bit. Kinda cool. Heavy though. I could feel the weight at the back of the bike.
Lefty forks....fine stuff there, iffin you can get past the oddness.
