Strengths: I'm coming from a 2005 giant Yukon so this bike was a welcomed improvement. Not only did the 29 let me roll over small cars but the climbs became effortless. Aside from the occasional ghost shifting its pretty solid. Stretched length provides confidence on steep downhill drops including steps, I was even able to climbs shallow steps going upWeaknesses: Crappy alivio derauilers make me want to brake them with a hammer when they jump under strain, tektro aquila brakes are mediocre at best cable got stuck in the sleeve on the rear, Alex td24 rims won't take too much abuse if you are over three hundred lbs as I amBottom Line: Great bike for intro to 29 ers, if it wasn't such a great deal at 550 I would have saved and got the 1.0 with octalink and hydraulic brakes which I will now upgrade. After a couple of components upgraded this bike will be bulletproof I'm very happy with it

Strengths: Light, Entry level 29 for the price, great buy!Weaknesses: Fork is not top of the line, 2nd ride was ghost shifting, took back to LBS and they found bad chain, replaced under warrenty, 1 week into ride still need to make minor adjustments to shifters. rear brake weak, but prob adjustment needed. some movement of the shifters was needed to make more comfortable to place hands while ridingBottom Line: After some cable wear in bike will do just fine. the price for this bike with it's components and compared to other bikes with like components, this was the better deal, next upgrade will be front shock or hyd brakes, Overall great bike!!

Strengths: Great entry level 29er, the price. Fork has lockdown for long pavement rides. I think the fork handles well, and the bike is very fun to use.Weaknesses: Kind of heavy, not super high end components.Bottom Line: Great bike, especially for the $550 it's on sale for now. I actually paid $680 for it, but I got the $130 back when it went on sale. You have to love Performance Bikes 90 day price guarantee.
