Strengths: Ride Quality, custom geometry, perfect welds, strong frameWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Just got my new ST and the bike is awesome. Had the frame set up for geared or single speed and currently running it as SS. This bike carves single track better than any bike I have ever owned. The bike seems to float over rough terrain and climbs better than a stripper on a pole!

Strengths: Light: I didn't weigh the frame alone, but the bike came in at 23.5 LBS.
Nibble: I've been riding MTBs since 1986, but this was my first 29er. Everything I have read indicates that no 29er should be this nimble.
Efficiency: Right out of the box I improved my endurance on this bike. It could be any combination of factors --including mental.
Tossability: The light weight backend really allows me to pick up the bike and put it where I wanted.Weaknesses: The ST stands for Soft Tail. I suppose four inches of travel is possible, but at 160LBS, I'm not seeing more than 2.5. That's really all I wanted anyway.
The bike gets maybe too much attention. I had a ride delayed by about half an hour due to the questions. I like to keep it modest.Bottom Line: The bike rides like a dream ...and I got this one used just to see if I wanted one custom built for me. It really excels in fast twisty single track and endurance rides. I really appreciate the lightness of the bike and can bunny hop it much better than I thought I would ever be able to when I first built it up and straddled it. I've taken the bike on some pretty rugged, rocky downhills and never missed the five inches the Mojo had ...of course I tend to stand on the downhill anyway.
Bottom Line? The ultimate softtail.
