    I have an 04 dawg matic. same frame cheaper parts. Actually I think the new ones have an inch more rear suspension. The dawgs are a pretty good bike if you are looking for a more "heavy duty" xc bike. Wouldn't really take it off any serious drops mind you. But it can handle its fair shair. Good for longer rides because it's not as heavy as a full out freeride bike.
    I would give my dawg matic like 3.5 out of 5, I am going to upgrade some parts hopefully this season, that is where it is lacking.

    This is the bike I originally wanted,

    However I went to the bike show last year and saw the dawg matic for a really cheap price so I snapped it up.

    Banshee make good bikes check em out...And it's a Canadian company!

    (as a side note, their old website was like 10x better)
