Strengths: Fairly light, fun downhiller, comfortable cockpitWeaknesses: What do you call a quadrapalegic in a swimming pool?Bottom Line: Rented this bike in Maui and rode Kula Forest Reserve. Rode it for almost 4 hours, so got good feel for what its got. There is a viscious amount of bob to it, making climbing on it a real sucker. But I do suspect that may be fixed with a better rear shock like a Fox Float R or RL, especially since the geometry is suitable for a true XC bike. Downhill, though, it was very supple in sketchy stuff and very easy to maneuver. Stock parts worked fine, but they are Deore, so there's no telling how long they'll last. Plus, there's plenty of options for shaving weight which, with new rear susp., would make this a pretty fun XC bike.

Strengths: Great price for what you get, strong frame, good to build up componants if you don't have the cash to splurge on and it's CanadianWeaknesses: Rims, get new ones or you'll have a taco in no timeBottom Line: If you don't have a ton of cash but want tobe able to build up a bike this one will be awesome. Rockys' are strong bikes and can handle some abuse, mind you this is a entry level duelie, but an entry level Rocky is better than most>>>
