Strengths:    comfortable suspension. good price point. will get years of use. I believe this is the best all around mountain bike someone could purchase.

Weaknesses:    seat uncomfortable. changed it out immediately. minor annoyances - Had to adjust brake pads a few times to stop them from rubbing on the disk. noticed some rear brake fade on steep downhill.

Bottom Line:   
I feel faster on this bike. Upgraded form 26" hardtail to 29er full suspension. way more comfy on any trail. climbs awesome. rode up local fire road (Cowles Mountain San Deigo) nonstop for the first time. Hardtail 26" either spun out or wheelied. Must be the larger contact patch or the fact that suspension keeps rear wheel in continuous contact with terrain.

Strengths:    Very smooth riding bike. Seems like a lot of value for the bucks. I like the way the 29 inch tires roll over obstales. So far it has been incredibly durable even through a couple of major crashes. It is a very comfortable ride for me.

Weaknesses:    The color is nothing too eye-catching.

Bottom Line:   
I am a big guy 6-4 and 230. This bike handles my size just fine. It is my first full suspension bike and I really enjoy riding it. I live on the edge of the National Forest and ride it on the single tracks here in Colorado everyday. I have owned it for about two months now and it has performed well with no problems.
