Strengths: The frame is incredibly strong, and has a great paintjob. Also the brakes have held up great as has the wheels. The IRC Backcountry tires are awesome, as well.Weaknesses: Deraillures. After about a year, the rear deraillure started ghost shifting. Also the fork was way too stiff, at 155 lbs I could only get about 1/2 of the promised 100 mm travel.Bottom Line: This bike is great for anyone who wants a capable bike that can do anyhting. I've taken this bike off large jumps, 5 foot drops, cross-country trail riding and downhilling and it has stepped up to the task. The only problem I found w/ it is that it wieghs over 30 lbs, but the satisfaction of not having to worry about it is much much better. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a bike that they can just ride and not have to worry about. However, if you're a strict racer, or srtict freerider, than stay away from it. This is a bike for the all-around mtn biker.
