Strengths:    A lot of travel. Strong frame and fork. Soakes up all drops. You can haul @ss and run ower basketball size rocks.Very good weight distribution. Like 50/50

Weaknesses:    Rear linkage has side to side flex but that is all. It dosent really matter.

Bottom Line:   
THis bike is sweet and you feel very comfortable riding it.The back and front are weighed very similar. It feels like it has endless travel. You should buy the bike if you like to do downhill racing and fun drop rides on the weekends.

Strengths:    Its a RM9. You do daft things on it that no one could pay you to do on another bike.

Weaknesses:    Its very very heavy. When I switch to my lightweight Vertex I feel sudden superhuman strength

Bottom Line:   
Its a huge red double-decker bus when you shove it over the edge of a cliff that stops in seconds with the help of massive disc brakes. Check it out on Ebay now (item# 1813441371)
