Strengths: 2012 version climbs as good or better than any hardtail I have ever riden. It is also quick, nimble and strong in the decents. Love the RP2 rear shock, I was a sceptic that the propedal setting would actually do anything but it performed beautifully.Weaknesses: Head set sucks, it came lose and cracked the top cap so I upgraded to the cane creek 40 like what is on the slayer 70. All round cheaper parts than the 50 and 70.Bottom Line: You may have to upgrade some parts (marzocchi doesn't have the best track record in my books) on it later on but it is an excellent bike and performs like an all mountian bike should.

Strengths: Bought this bike used, it is extensively upgraded. Bike is light enough to ride XC, beefy beyond compare...Climbs like a goat, handles tight technical rocky terrain very well..Weaknesses: A little heavy, but pretty light in its class, not bad at all for what it can do.Bottom Line: All around the most incredible bike I have ridden. I can clear amazing obstacles with it, and scream down the rough hills with confidence. Frame appears indestructible and the linkage is slop free and smooth...I will ride this bike until it is used up..

Strengths: rear suspension is bottomless, eats up every drop I am willing to tryWeaknesses: stock fork would be garbage, was replaced with a float 36 RC2Bottom Line: Great all-mountain bike for the money. Sacrifice a little on the climbs, but more than makes up for it with its dh ability. Funnest bike I have ever ridden, hands down.

Strengths: Durrable, comfort, smooth, good componentsWeaknesses: None than I can think ofBottom Line: wow. It started out stock, but with a few minor upgrades, i'm not affrait to go anywhere on this thing. Its still light enough for a trail bike. Freeride and downhill feel so good on this bike. It feels bottomless with the suspension set up. Its gonna be hard for me to find anything comparable.
