Strengths:    Takes all the big hits..With the big seat it feels way more stable. This bike is smooth ina ll situations..Drops, speed, mud..You name it..It is truly the best machine..I have riden Rm 9, Giant, VPS 1, and none of them come even close

Weaknesses:    One must try all the settings to find the best one that fits you..Once you reach that point, enjoy the ride

Bottom Line:   
The money is worth all the way. This bike is a tank that will go through anything.. at the same time it can be very smooth and manouverable. If you like downhill and nice big drops, this is the bike to go for

Strengths:    RAD!!! Love the bike.

Weaknesses:    Haven't found one yet.

Bottom Line:   
You need an M1 to be competetive. It will take the big hits and drops but is plush enough for the little things. It gives you the confidence to go fast. I love mine but have to sell it for financial reasons :(

Date Reviewed: August 22, 2000

Strengths:    The M1 is the strongest bike I have ever riden. Truly the best bike in the world with a plush 8" rear end. The only DH bike that is infinitly adjustable. Will take a beating...

Weaknesses:    The cost.

Bottom Line:   
You will never ride another bike again as long as you own an M1.
