Strengths: cost... this is an amazing entry level hardtail
packed with disk brakes albiet cheapo tektro at this price point no biggie.
as my first venture into a "real" mountain bike and also my first 29er
im quite impressed even for being bottom of the line component group
as a big guy i tend no notice spongy frames this one is stiff and climbs like a goat
Weaknesses: pedals are horrible for anyone who rides it more than 5 minutes at a time.
the seat is mediocre
the adjustable preload on the fork seems to not work too well
but for under $600 after all is said and done
these can not be considered weaknesses
Bottom Line: for the price its a fantastic bike that has me sold on the 29er world.
ive hit 32mph without breaking a sweat on a short downhill ( tracked via strava gps) coulda went loads faster if i had been pedaling.
its a comfortable bike that handles great
kind of ackward getting used to 29inch tires. like im riding a monster truck or something but man them big wheels roll, even with the slow rolling stock bontrager tires this bike hauls ass.
spend a few bucks upgrading this frame with your drivetrain and front shock of choice and you have a screaming hardtail!

Strengths: I actually just got my Wahoo yesterday (01/13/12) and I rode it the whole afternoon around my old school. It's also my first 29er. Just a test purchase before I probably get something more "advanced". Compared to a hardtail 26er, I love the way this one rolls. If a 26er is frantic, this one's relaxed. I also love the riding position. It's upright and takes a lot of stress off the shoulders, arms and wrists. This thing also flies when the road goes downhill. The longer the descent, the faster you go and I do mean fast. Can't wait to take this one single tracking but I'll probably have to change a couple of things before I do.Weaknesses: This bike's a bit on the heavy side. I have knee problems so I really am looking for a lighter drivetrain. Maybe a Shimano Deore drivetrain would do the trick. The stock pedal is too small. I just upgraded to a set of Truvativs. I forgot the model name. The stock handlebar is a bit on the narrow side. Tektro mechanical brakes but for the price of the product, I don't think anyone could consider this a weakness. Basically that's it. The only weakness that really needs addressing is the weight.Bottom Line: This bike needs some work but as it stands it's okay. For anybody looking to try a 29er, this is a great starting point. I was a bit skeptical about 29er's at first but reading so many magazines and seeing how they praise the 29er breed got me curious. Now I'm glad I bought this bike. It's a very solid purchase in my book. This bike is mainly for people interested in cruising on and off road. Hard chargers may not be too pleased with a Trek Wahoo. Laid back single tracking and trail riding is this bike's raison d'etre.
Favorite Trail: all of them.
