Strengths: Comfortable seat
Strong Frame
Weaknesses: Acrea productsBottom Line: A very nice looking bike. Very comfortable and American made, one of the few bikes in this price range made in the U.S. Durability is good and is fun to ride...and that is all that matters to me. Good Buy!! Good bike for college students who go off road frequently to take the short cut to class.

Strengths: Strong Frame, isn't Al nice? Not the super frame of the 1000 range but I looked at the geometry of many bikes and the M-55 came close to competition hardtails in it's geometry. Its a great bike, the stock components were good, however the RST front shock lost it very quickly off a trail jump one day and since I have completely upgraded the entire bike with exception to the frame and rimsWeaknesses: The Front RST shock, lasted about 6 months, can't really do much with it either...the Tektro's tend to shake up a little, but are good stopping powerBottom Line: The Raliegh is a great bike. No, sorry, its not the media made Trek or something similiar but its a REAL bike for a REAL biker. I bought this with the idea of upgrading in the future in mind, and since I have the bike is awesome and recommend Raliegh and "building your bike" to anyone. Its an great bike, strong frame, a good basic components, when upgraded though, it will shred up any hardtail competition I believe you put in front of it.

Bike Setup: My bike is now complete Shimano XT cranks, der's, shifters and chain. The front shock is upgraded to an awesome 2000 Manitou SX-R, toping it out is a Aheadset matched to a Specialized stem, Kore Lite handlebar, Answer grips and WTB Velsoraptor Kevlar 2.1 tires front and rear. Soon to come are new rims and maybe brakes as the Tektro's are a bit shaky

Strengths: Good strong components, very light, and good suspension. Fork travel seems adequate but bottoms out occasionally. Great bike for beg-inter biker. My first front susp bike and I'm very impressed. I did quite a bit of research and am very happy with my choice of the M55.Bottom Line: Good strong components, very light, and good suspension.

Strengths: solid as a rock, smooth shifting, no suspicious noises or squeaksWeaknesses: front fork needs another inch of travel, stock seat is uncomfortableBottom Line: I'm probably biased because this is my first hardtail bike, but i am very impressed with this machine. For the price I could find nothing better as far as quality of components and solidity. This bike invites you to hurl it at both downhills and technical uphills, but i do wish it had at least another inch of travel in the front fork.

Bottom Line: I'm just getting into mountain biking and I love it. I have been riding my M55 everywhere I go because it is so much fun to ride and so comfortable. The suspension fork makes a big difference in handling and comfort. I feel like I can ride over or down anything. The big tires roll smoothly on dirt, gravel and pavement and i have not had a flat yet. If you are looking to get into the sport of mountain biking for fun, fitness or whatever I would def. recomend checking out Raleigh's line of bikes, they are quality bikes at a good price.
