Strengths: This bike is an all around solid bike. Nothing 2 bad to say about it. i own a 99 wolverine with 7200 sr suntour front fork. then i got serious and bought a vps-1 with front 8 inch ride bomber fork and hydrolic discs and the whole deal. the wolv. has never let me down other than one flaw. rimsWeaknesses: RIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!must make stronger rims. i ended up buying graphite encased welded rims which altogether cost me about 500 CAD. crappy stuffBottom Line: good solid bike for cross country use. not a downhiller like i wanted but ....that was the uneducated me, 2.5 years ago. i now race downhillers.( and im actually quite damn good too.

Strengths: Very comfortable
Nice rapid fire shifters
V breaks
Good for freeriding
Great priceWeaknesses: Only one inch travel on those crapy suntour shocks
Rims bend too easy
Rear derailer sucks
One inch head tubeBottom Line: This bike is a great deal, has some cheap parts but it will take almost whatever you can dish out. It's a good bike for begginer riders who don't have much money to spend on it. I would recommend buying a bike with a 1 1/8 head tube so you can upgrade the shocks. It's a real drag that I couldn't change the shocks cuz I really liked this bike. Im giving it a three because of the one inch head tube. But if you don't care about having those one inch shocks then you should buy this bike.
