beastmaster Date Reviewed: April 27, 2013 Strengths: With some upgrades, you can get this bike into the 23lbs neighborhood pretty quickly and fairly inexpensively. The OCLV frame set (2011) is great. Good geometry, strong, quick, and responsive are just a few adjectives I use to describe the chassis. Weaknesses: Some less than desirable components, like the cheap Shimano triple cranks, heavy Bontrager wheels, Sram X9 RD (causes a good bit of chain slap and contributes to some chain suck), and stock Avid brake pads. Change this stuff out ASAP! Bottom Line:

vince bellet Date Reviewed: January 26, 2013 Strengths: I rode this bike as a demo and I am going to get one- I have always ridden hard tails so I enjoy a bike that climbs well. this bike did not disappoint, this bike climbs great and I found descending great as well. I found I wasn't as fatigued after the ride as I am on my current hard tail. Weaknesses: Maybe the Bontrager wheels could be lighter - however this is not a deal breaker. Bottom Line:

Chris Miller Date Reviewed: August 22, 2012 Strengths: super light, handles well in tough stuff, less fatigue, big wheels compensate for only 100 mm suspension, very light pedal bob in pro-pedal mode climbing or flat smooth when seated, upright riser bar position is good for slow technical stuff but don't feel stretch out enough for high speed descents but im getting use to it Weaknesses: tight cockpit, squeaky brakes Bottom Line:

from Laguna Niguel, CA, USA Date Reviewed: February 22, 2012 Strengths: Climbing. Stiff front and rear. Plush suspension. Built-in frame guards. ABP (Advanced Braking Pivot) setup is clean and very flexible. Low center of gravity. Low fatigue factor. Excellent endurance rig. Light weight. Weaknesses: Price. Low bottom bracket compared to all mountain bikes, but very reasonable for XC race machine. Limited fork choices (needs G2 offset). OEM fork feels like it needs more travel to balance 110mm of rear shock.
