Strengths:    strong frame, rear suspention is great,comfortable seat, strong rims, nice shifters.

Weaknesses:    GEARS!!! rear derailur is wery weak, it took a few hits in now none of my gears line up right.front derailur sucks too. it either shifts to far out and throws the chain off or it shiftes too close to the chain and gets jamed in my cranks. brakes become weak after about a month or two.also THE FORK!!! for is very stiff and there is no way to adjust it. whenever u preload ur shocks to jump an obsatcle,as soon as you ift up u will hear a very loud banging noise. also quite heavy.

Bottom Line:   
it is a decent bike,good for light mountain riding. not a very good bike to ride any type of urban at all.with the combo of weight and bad derailers it makes something as simple as an endo to fakie(ride backwards and turn around)very difficult b/c when u pedal backwards the chain falls off.IN CONCLUSION,THIS IS A GOOD BIKE FOR BEGINERS.

Strengths:    Front and rear suspension work well in rocky terrain.
The bike has held up well, and I have given it a severe ass beating on several occasions. No major broken components
after about 50 rides. Sturdy bike for the buck.


Weaknesses:    Wellgo pedal nearly broke off after a couple hard hits.
Pivot point where rear arm and main frame connect requires
some disassembly to get it tight, if its loose here you'll
get some rattle over bumps. Heavy about 35lbs.


Bottom Line:   
Great entry level bike, Beat the piss out of it, it can take
it. I would buy another Fuji when I trade up. This bike didn't suck at all.

Strengths:    Very solid built bike that will get you through anything.

Weaknesses:    I have tried other bikes that have a better shock and this run rides a bit rough

Bottom Line:   
Overall a very good bike for the money. Nice components that work well together. This is a steel bike that weights more than the Discovery II which is aluminum.

Strengths:    very good looks and a cheap price. fuji used sealed bearing piviots on the dual suspention bike. this bike works well anywhere you take it.

Weaknesses:    heavy bike, which is a bit full figured. rear suspention not as bouncy as other more expensive bikes

Bottom Line:   
this bike is an awsome bike for beginners or people wanting to just to get fit. this bike will not set you back in your budget no matter how limited it is. befor buying this bike i looked at other cheaper dual suspention bikes that only looked good. however this is a real bike with the looks to go with it. this bike will get you through any bike riding experince weather it be riding to your friends house or flying up and down the single tracks at your local national park.
