from Hoboken, NJ Date Reviewed: August 11, 2009 Strengths: Value at this price point is off the charts. Great components. Very nice looking bike. Weaknesses: Handlebar was a little too stiff for me. Switched to an Easton Monkeylite XC Riser. The Conti Mountain King 2.1 tire blew the side wall on the second ride (on asphalt) for no apparent reason. BikeDirect didn't want to honor warranty. I switched to Panaracer Rampage.

from Lost Wages, NV. USA Date Reviewed: June 13, 2009 Strengths: VALUE!! You cannot buy the group for the price of the bike. X-9, truvativ, juicy 7, WTB, great stuff. Weaknesses: I have bent the rims a few times now, but I am a aggressive rider. I am also thinking about upgrading the front to something a little more stiffer. A little on the heavy side for racing, but I race it anyways, total gas passing 26ers on the downhill sections.
