I had a 1999 Mantra Race and it was my first full suspension mt bike. It was fun but a bit odd. The wheelbase would change length during suspension movement which is kinda weird. Still, not bad for the hilly, twisty trails I rode back in the day. More of a climbing bike than a downhill machine. If fact, steep downhills were it's weakest point if I recall, always felt like you were going to go over the bars.
