Strengths: climbing and all things going down hill, single tracks too
Weaknesses: none, although i have broken my chain twice i the 10 months since i have had it but think its just because i am riding much more since i have had this bike.
Bottom Line:
i one word, WOW!! it was a sad day when i sold my v10 but ever since i have had this bike i have been as happy as a pig in #*#*, this bike realy does it all,set it up as a xc dominator then turn a couple of diles then you have a bike that will eat any dh and will go as big as you like. the french have really hit the nail on the had with this one, i will not be changing bikes for quite some time for quite some time, you would not regret getting one of these bad boys,it really is the perfect all mountain bike and is second to none.
