Strengths: durable, low-maintenance.Weaknesses: down-shifting has always been kinda spotty on the chainring; tends to hangon to bigger ring. also, braking cramps the heck out of my hands--might recommend an upgrade from stock brakes.Bottom Line: Been running this bike *hard* for 2yrs, and I really have no complaints. I've been merciless on the rear derailleur and only recently did the hanger give up the ghost. I would recommend to anyone who wrecks a lot and doesn't know much about bikes (like me)...because other than a few tune-ups I haven't had to deal with many mechanical issues. For $750 used, I couldn't be happier w/ the value...maybe a more advanced rider could pick a few things to complain about, but for moderate to easier-advanced trails, this bike won't let you down.

Strengths: RS recon fork (130 mm),strong frame, avid hydro brakes, xt shadow rear der.Weaknesses: a little on the heavy side, tiresBottom Line: This is an awesome trail bike. It has enough suspension to handle about anything and it descends like a rocket. It climbs as good as it can be expected to for the type of bike it is. bottom line: if you need a durable bike that bombs the downs and climbs the ups then this is the bike for you.

Strengths: Great all around trail bike. Rides great, nice components for the $$$. Good looking bike.Weaknesses: Like the other review. The first thing I replaced was the Bontrager Jones XR tires.Bottom Line: I originally demo'd a Trek Fuel EX 8.0, the set up up and geometry worked great for me.But I could not see myself spending over 2k for mt first mountain bike so I went with the EX 6.5. I am extremely happy with it.

Strengths: Excellent components, reasonable weight < 29lbs, beautiful ride up or down hill. This bike is comparable to the 2007 Fuel EX 8.0.Weaknesses: Tires could be more aggressive. Comes with Bontrager Jones XR which are XC tires. They work okay for mountain if air downed right.Bottom Line: All around great deal for the money.
