Anyone rode the 8 inch travel Uzzi?

I'm thinking about getting one and just wanted to know how people liked them.
I ride the 7.xx" travel Uzzi VPX and love it. Mine showed up with a Swinger 6-way. No complaints once I got the correct spring weight.
I have a Travis triple on the front. The bike doesn't pop off of jumps like the Uzzi SLX did and bunny hops like it's in mud. But it rolls through things that I would get tossed off of the SLX. A 2.7 Maxxis tire fits in the swingarm with plenty of room.
If you're @ 6' or above go for a large.

Thanks for the info. I am talking about the new one. I'm pretty sure this is the frame I'm going to get. Does the size run small or are they on average?

They run small, just look at their top tube measurements and go from there.
The head angles and bottom bracket heights seem to be spot on. But then that is all a matter of opinion.
I will say if you come off of riding, for example, a Specialized the Intense will feel different.
