Strengths: rims took a beatin and still good, stem never slipped, durable frame
Weaknesses: crank is questionable, handlebars, remember it's aluminum and will break, rear wheel likes to slid forward after a day of trails
Bottom Line:
I've owned two, cracked both frames after about a year of owning each, but before they cracked, man what a great ride, easiest bike I've ever ridin' to spin a 360. Great ride but have a little money for upgrades. Good for most people capably of riding a bmx
Bike Setup: FSA pig headset, Odyssey Gyro, Crupi Tensioners, Primo Mustache bars, Redline monster forks, Torker crank, Avid Brakes, Control Tech seat post, set it up for any riding that hit my path

Bottom Line:
A truly amazing bike. I got it on sale. The day i bought it, i had tried many bikes at the dealer. This one has a really good feel to it. A very stable bike. Also lighter than most of the "GT" racers. Ive gone jumping with it and racing with it. No replacements. .The only problem is that 1 loose screw on left pedal thing. Have to screw it in every half hour or so of riding. Otherwise, an amazing bike.Bout a week ago my parents offered to buy me a new bike, but i love my assault ex. If you can find it, buy it!

Strengths: Has a very light weigh frame. Is easy to pull tricks on.
Weaknesses: May crack because frame is not to big. Parts in which come on bike need to be upgraded.
Bottom Line:
This bike is a very good bike. If you are a beginer this bike is highly recomended. Although robinson doesnt make bike anymore this bike may become worth a large amount of money.

Strengths: Great Frame, light yet strong. Brake stops on a dime, and crank is durable
Weaknesses: Tires are a little sketchy, nothing to get to worried about.
Bottom Line:
Awesome bike for the price, great for entry level racing, even better if moded up, that would be perfection. Very smooth and fast ride, easy to learn to manual.
This bike rips up the track! It's quick out of the gate and you can just hammer away at it. I love it, I was gonna pay more for the team edition but I'm glad I got this bike instead. If they just put better tires on it, I would be on cloud9
