Strengths:    Cheap

Weaknesses:    FRAME and Company support policy. Basically, this bike is a joke..

Bottom Line:   
This is a piece of crap. On third ride out, I caught a rut and bent the frame all to heck. I have been riding 18 years and this was not a major hit. Of course, the company called it rider error and there was no warranty support or help at even giving me a break on a replacement frame. The bike sucks and so does KHS... If you want a mountain bike look alike to take to the corner store with the kiddies, then get a KHS. Otherwise, save your pennies and get a decent bike. I only wish I could give 0 flaming turds to this royal turd!!
