Strengths: this thing is bombproof! the frame felt a little heavy at first but i got used to it. very strong frame. nice bike.
Weaknesses: Its heavy at first, and the rims get dented somewhat easily.
Bottom Line:
very sturdy bike, i recommend it for any level bike rider, this thing was completely worth 60$, i mean i would have paid 400$ for this thing so the owner must have been smoking something that morning to sell it for that price.

Strengths: um.....
Weaknesses: Rims bend, heavy
Bottom Line:
I wouldn't recommend this for a beginner, because it's heavy. I wouldn't recommend this for an advanced rider, because it'd easily get something wrong with it.
Bike Setup: I have put on Powerlite tyres on front and back. Big ass nobs.

Strengths: It's got a strong frame, the stem is cool, the cranks is strong and the bars are right for dirt
Weaknesses: the tyres are a bit of a joke, got 3 punctures in 4 rides.

the bike is really strong, not bad for riden park, its better than most of the other bikes doing dirt (felt, KHE, and sum haro's) i would say that this is one of the best dirt bikes ever to be made.
Bike Setup: i have now got ALex supra E's, new GT Forks, kenda tyres, but thts all i have changed

Strengths: very beefy frame, good parts for the most part.
Weaknesses: the cable detangler was junk.
Bottom Line:
I've put this bike through hell, and it is still kicking. I got it with a three piece crank and it is awsome. i recomend this bike to anyone who has a passion for riding.
Strengths: Hella Strong Frame good forks and ummm the stem is good too
Weaknesses: well the grips suck and the tires are cheep the back rim sucks when you grind the hub get lose all the time you grind on it. i busted out the bearings in the rear hub DO NOT OVER tighten the bolts on your stem they will brake... Oh ya The Forks POP Out And You Cant Put a Front Peg on and it came with 3/8 's in the front
Bottom Line:
THIS BIKE IS A GOOD BIKE IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PARTS ON IT THE STOCK PARTS ARE CRAP BUT THE FRAME IS HELLA STRONG its heavy so its not good for little kids but if your stong you should get this bike
Bike Setup: i replaced mostly everything i put new bars (s&m) New Rims Alex triple walls i got a new seat new grips new tires (snafu rim jobs)i took off all the stickers got new petals new fatty chain

Strengths: This bike is built in the good old USA so you know it is built right. The geometry is perfect for dirt jumping and some park riding.
Weaknesses: Everyone seems to agree its a little heavy for a bicycle frame. The rear end is too big (15' chainstays). The seatpost clamp that is built in does not work as well as a bike with one not built in.
Bottom Line:
When i first bought this bike i knew that i would never have to buy another again. It had a 1 1/8 headset, which was new to me, and good parts at the time i was riding so i was stoked that i got it.
Bike Setup: When i bought it it came with 1 piece cranks, the oversized seatpost and guts where a joke. Bars, stem, wheels, headset, and fork where all good quality.

Strengths: hell_a sturdy, can take all the abuse you can even think of... very nice bike...
Weaknesses: kinda heavy, rear brake sucks like a fat bitc_h on E...
Strengths: this bike is very very durable and i am not affraiad to try new things with it.
Weaknesses: it is a little more heavy than other bikes by 2or 3 pounds but that doesnt relly make a difference in jumping hight or speed. the durabuility makes up for the weight.
Bottom Line:
this is a great bike to abuse i still havent fallen once. this bike is for intermediate riders dont buy this bike if you are brand new at this sport. if you consider your self as a pro than this bike may be for you.
Strengths: Where should I start?? The bike has super tight double side wall rims, thick seat post, nice jumping bars, its built like a tank, can handle anything, thich dropouts....and more
Weaknesses: The seat broke when my friend was riding it and he squished his nutz
Weaknesses: kinda heavy, but whaddaya expect? grips, tires and pedals suck, i replaced them, now its perfect
Bottom Line:
sweeeet bike, a bit heavy, but it has taken 2 years of abuse, and only a few things are rattling. pretty manuverable.... aww what am i talking about? the bottom line is that this bike will not let you down
Bike Setup: stock, with ati grips, sharkbite pedals and maxdaddy tires

Strengths: Absolute bomb proof, not bad size geometry, comes with half decent parts, good trails bike that won't break!!!!
Weaknesses: too heavy for anything but trails, crap 1pc cranks, hard for young kids or weak people to jump, poor design on the seat post cos it breaks the pin, can't fit a gyro on, crap colour forks, stickers don't peel off without huge sticky marks, seat post too fat, doesn't come with pegs and can only fit gt pegs on, too chunky for me, pedals and grips where out in about 2 seconds.
Bottom Line:
too heavy and chunky, great for dirt jumpng, parts could be designed better, great first or seond time bmx.
