Strengths: responcive to pedal input(fast) Rear air shock. little to no bob. active rear sus. helps traction on steep climbs. cromoly fame steel the only wayWeaknesses: heavy with my set up its 29lbs (my fault heavy rims) Lil' bit of flex in the rearBottom Line: I love this bike. The accelarates better than some hard tails with loads more traction. Awesome "alive" feeling of steel. The next bike I get will be a cro-molly fame. I've ran this bike in some real tek. trails and it handles great aborbing the trail like a sponge. great bike for trail riding/ light free ride. Use light componets and would be possible to race xc with a 25 lb bike. I'd buy it again great bike.

Strengths: LOW INITIAL COST AND DURABILITY.Weaknesses: NONE YETBottom Line: THIS BIKE HAS BEEN RIDEN 50 MILES A WEEK AT LEAST FOR 7 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS. INITIALLY IT WAS DELIVERED WITH A LOOSE BOLT IN THE SWINGARM PIVOT. THIS LEAD TO PREMATURE BUSHING FAILURE. THE BIKE SHOP I BOUGHT IT FROM WAS USELESS FOR GETTING NEW BUSHINGS. FINALLY I WENT DIRECTLY TO KHS & THEY SENT ME AN ENTIRE SWINGARM ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID THE SWINGARM MAY HAVE WORN (CLASS MOVE). BUY THIS BIKE IF YOU ARE AN AVID XC RIDER AND LOOKING FOR DURABLE BIKE. I'VE RIDEN MANY OTHER BIKES IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE BUT HAVEN'T FOUND ANY BETTER. IT CAN BE BOUGHT FOR $650.

Strengths: Great price, Great components.. Looks greatWeaknesses: None.. yet..Bottom Line: I bought this 99 Pro for half of the original price - after taking it out a few times, I would have payed the full price.. its a great bike..
THe only thing I did was install my XTR Brakes (i had them from my other bike) - and it didnt need it really..
I'd highy recommeend this bike.> I've seenit for about $900-1000 on various websites, and I'm sure LBS's will have it for that cost as well...
