I haven't but I did have one of its predecessors which I rode for around 5000 miles. The only significant difference that I can see is that the front forks are now carbon fibre (good move, the ride was a bit harsh). Apart from that, it's pretty much the same frame and components. It was a very good ''entry level'' bike for the price (then around €300). It's still in the family, currently shrunk down to just about fit my niece.
