Strengths: Stiffness, durability, looks, priceWeaknesses: Weight, SID shockBottom Line: I actually have an XR-5 frame that I bought slightly used on Ebay. I then built it up. I have been mostly disappointed w/ the frame. I am not sure what it is designed for. It's heavy and overbuilt like a DH/freeride frame, but rides like a cross-country bike. I have tryed all diiferent setting on the SID dual air, but have never gotten it to ride nearly as smooth as my old ProFlex w/ a Noleen rear shock. If this what all air shock FS bikes ride like, I'm going back to coil-overs!! For the price, I suppose I can't complain. I think most of the problem is the RS SID shock. A Fox RL would probably help alot.
Favorite Trail: Colorado

Beleive me there's alot of bikes out there similar to this set up and I'm sure there nice rigs, but the price you can't touch!Weaknesses: What's weak to some is a strength othersBottom Line: BUY IT !!!
