Strengths: The bike climbs a lot better than my Ellsworth Joker (35 lbs). Hills I had to strain to get up I now fly up. The bike is more comfortable on rough terrain and has better control.I also like the idea that I can easily lock out either or both shocks for hill climbing or smoothe terrain. FYI it weighs 27 lbs.All of the components are of good quality. The rear derailure is direct mount and shifts better under pressure.Weaknesses: like all 29ers it isn't as manueverable as the 26 wheeled bikes, but the more I ride it the less I notice the difference.Bottom Line: This is a bike I can highly recommend!!!

Strengths: Liteweight, carbon armour, responsiveWeaknesses: reputationBottom Line: I can only speak to the frame performance as I received it as a warranty replacement. It was 5 lbs with the shock. I rode it with my REBA SL fork for a few weeks until my G2 fork arrived. With the REBA it was "meh, I've had funner bikes" but with the G2 fork I was amazed at how spry it felt. Instantly more responsive and a lot funner to ride. I wouldn't have thought it would make such a difference. I like the bike overall; I just think that the previous years models ruined the reputation of this model.
