Date Reviewed: July 30, 2011

Strengths:    comes with fast rolling continental race kings, remot lockout on the tora tk's comes in handy often.

Weaknesses:    wheels can't hand the torque from the 185 mm front disc, comes with hydraulic brakes that make a lot of noise when wet.

Bottom Line:   
It's a good price for what it is, an entry level 29er. The original crankset didn't last 4 months. However, the bike is being raced in local races 2 to 3 times a month. The powder coat paing job looks dull and dirty, but is easy to clean and scratches don't seem like such a big deal. With a few tweaks I have been competitive with bikes a lot lighter, maybe its a better bike to get around town, but it take a beating and keeps rolling fast
