Strengths: Light, stiff, good-looking, really funWeaknesses: Heavy stock wheels and tiresBottom Line: Of the ten mountain bikes I've owned, I enjoy this one the most. The frame is a stiff, lightweight thing of beauty. The wheelset is a bit heavy, and the 2.2" tires mine came with were too big, but most of the parts are smart.

Strengths: The bike is very compliant. It climbs very well, it is stiff. It takes the chatters better than other carbon hardtails I've ridden(Specialized & Fuji). The Fox fork is everything i would expect from Fox, Light and it rides very smooth. I did'nt think i would like the tires, but after I tried them, they hook up well in the turns and i can run them under 27psi with no folding(I'm only 150lbs).Weaknesses: The brake set is the only thing I really don't like. The Avids squeal and don't feather as well as I would expect. A set of Shimano SLX or XT is all it needs, but a set of Hope Minis would make this bike sweet! All the other components are great for the price.Bottom Line: This bike rides GREAT for the price. If your looking for better components, get the next Superfly up with the Shimano XT groupo and RL wheels. Its worth it! Your buying this bike for the frame and a basic set of good components. It is well worth the upgrade from the AL. The bike is extremely compliant and agile for a 29er. It shifts crisp but the braking could be better. I will be getting new brakes soon and lighter wheels eventually.
All in all I love this bike. It rides GREAT an I would highly recommend it to any avid rider looking for a great frame. Like I said before, if you don't want to have to upgrade any components, go with the next Superfly better. I would have if I had the money, It's a lot better!
