Strengths: ti for a great price, plus manitou mars elite fork, hayes hydraulic disc breaks and michelin/mavic crossrox ust tubeless tires. this bike retails at $2000 & it's worth it at that price. i bought it for $1200 (it pays to have friends in the right places).Weaknesses: have to stay on top of the tubeless tires, they lose air pressure with or without riding. can't let the bike sit all winter. other than that i haven't had any problems since the bike has been tweeked by my tech.Bottom Line: this bike & i are a perfect match -- a sweet bike for a sweet girl. it's true love. i kinda stumbled on this bike. there i was, doing my research, going to all the bike shops that i could, getting my pretty head patted by salesmen (obvious members of the he-man woman's hater club). only one guy was very helpful & generous with his time. but even so, i had studied componenets & knew what i wanted & what i didn't. i knew that a "name" is real nice but if it comes w/ crap components than the bike is crap, no matter whose name is on it. mongoose has had a bad rap, but this is a babe of a bike, so get over it. anyway, i couldn't find a bike that had the components i wanted for a decent price, that is until this bike fell into my lap. i love my bike!!!

Strengths: Very light and super fast. stops as fast, great front shocks. Climbs hills real good-front end likes to jump up, because of the lightness.Weaknesses: Not to sure about the Mich. Comp tires. (rear one was put on wrong-front arrow pointing to the rear)Not sure if I like the tubless tires-they dont seem like they will hold upBottom Line: Have not rode the bike enough, but when I get on it-it gets. A Titanium bike, that has all the good race ready parts-around $2000.00. If youv'e got the money.
