Strengths: very well built bike, strong beafy frame, can handle big drops for a hardtail.A sweat paint job, and a very strong shock. Very strong rims, and disc's stop on a dime. Its just an other all stokin bike!!!!Weaknesses: The bikes only weaknesses are that the shocks are really loose, and you might want to purchase some stiffer springs.Another weakness is that it dosent come with a bash gaurd. That is all.Bottom Line: If you are looking for a smooth ride, that can handle big drops, the brodie evolution is an amazing bike for its price.

Strengths: - very nice paint/graphics
- tough, beefy frame + excellent geometry
- excellent stock components
- very stable feel
- smooooooth
- can handle anything you throw at it
- eats-up some pretty gnarly downhillWeaknesses: - At first, I found this bike a bit too heavy...not great for climbing...but not super-bad either. I would still buy it again...after I bought that full-suspension bike I've had my eye on....
Bottom Line: This is one *very* fun hardtail! Not a bike you would want to race on, but one you want to go out and play on!
The weaknesses are minor considering the strengths of this bike. It eats-up *anything* you point it at. It feels very smooth and stable. It looks great. This bike inspires confidence.
This bike doesn't have the "cheap feel" that many other bikes have. It's hard to describe it...feels like "quality". The "Kona-Stuff" came close, but just didn't have the class, components and beauty that this bike has. A quality product, well worth the $$$.
Favorite Trail: Whistler Bike Park
