Strengths: This bike has taken a beating. Had it over 10 years and it has held up. The brakes finally need to be replaced. It is extremely heavy compared to the newer bikes but I don't have any frame issues some of my friends have with the new composite frames. I wish they made them like this so I can upgrade.Weaknesses: weight. It is pretty heavy. The handle bar pivots slightly when stepping down or climbing. Otherwise very good bike.Bottom Line: Best value.
Favorite Trail: Wells State Park
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years

Strengths: Relatively lightweight, smooth rolling ride, totally relaxed posture while riding makes touring quite pleasant. Frame will take a pannier rack for touring.Weaknesses: Top tube could be more horizontal to the ground to allow for extra room for additional water bottle cage on seat tube.Bottom Line: Very, very comfortable! Remember the "fat tire" bikes of your youth? You can ride leisurely and really enjoy the scenery!
Duration Product Used: 3 months

Strengths:
Very comfy! My wife will finally ride with me on shorter road rides. Plus, it's a Trek!Weaknesses:
Suspension seatpost has a lot of side-play. The suspension stem is awkward for me, but I'm used to susp forks. When in the middle chainring and the large cog, the chain derails if pedaled backwards. I figure the bb axle is too long.Bottom Line: A great bike for road rides. Very comfy. Riding this bike makes me want to get a susp seatpost for my bike. My wife loves to ride it, and that's what matters.

My wife had a Rockhopper, but it was too uncomfortable for her. Now it serves as my commuter bike. :)
