Strengths: Tough as nails,good starter bike.Fit for all trails.Weaknesses: Needs a few components changed/upgraded.Heavy,hurts when it lands on you.Bottom Line: This is my first mtb,still using and going well 2 years on. Great for the price, a good bike to learn on, comes with some good kit but really needs upgraded components if your gonna use it as a Dual/jumpbike.I went through the initial components destroying them as stuff got bigger.Rear wheel folded up doin Air Canada(quarry drop),Lx crank lasted no time,FSA's even less....24-7 with chain device sorted that out.Used RooX for seatpost and bars everything else is original. Happy with the bike as is now, if you want a good allrounder this is the best for the money. I'm even more happy that I got mine before they brought out the brown one.
