a Cross Country Rider
from Tucson, AZDate Reviewed: December 26, 2011
Strengths: The bike is a surprisingly good climber and nearly as nimble as my old cross-country 29er. Provides you with a lot of confidence on steep, loose, nasty downhill's. Rolls over every obstacle that I have encountered (or have the nerve for) so far. Super plush ride for my trashed low back.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: This bike is meeting all my expectations and then some. For a longer travel 29er the extra couple pounds over my old bike just doesn't seem to be much of a limitation on those long climbs. You simply can ride this bike all day on Arizona's rocky trails and not feel beat up.
Favorite Trail: Black Canyon, AZ

Strengths: Stiff frame, great climber, excellent descender, fairly light at 33 pounds as built. Steers really well considering the fairly slack head angle.Weaknesses: Not enough range of adjustment with the seat post due to the seat stay frame design.Bottom Line: I ordered this bike because I wanted a 6" travel 29er with a stout frame. This bike lived up to my expectations and is my bike of choice for everything except DH rides. The White Brothers forks are awful... but for the moment (10-1-08) I don't have any other choices for 20mm axle 6" travel 29er forks. That will be changing in the months to come but for now I just put up with the WB harshness.
