Strengths:    
Stiff frame,XTR/XT component group,Manitou SXR,wild graphics,very well outfitted


Weaknesses:    

24.5 lbs could be a little lighter.


Bottom Line:   
This is a super bike. I got the bike for a great deal at 20% off the original price. I was looking seriously at the Stumpjumper but for about the same price with the discount but this bike offers more in terms of a better fork and components. Only been riding for a month. So far it is awsome in the singletack. VERY FAST! Climbs like crazy. Very cool paint too! I was a little hesitant at first about the Iron Horse because I don't see many people riding them but it looks like it is going to be an awsome bike with very little upgades needed if at all. I would definetly recommend this bike and I also see that they have a 1-800 number which I think is great to have for customer service. Five flaming HORSES for this one!

Strengths:    
This bike is light weight and is filled with great components like xt/xtr and titec. It handles like a glove and accelerates like a dream, this bike is so fast on some downhill I was actually afraid to go to fast. For the money it is the best bike out there.


Weaknesses:    
Got me!


Bottom Line:   
The bottom line is that this bike is a killer and if you are looking for a light fast accelerating bike this is the bike for you.
