Date Reviewed: February 7, 2008

Strengths:    Great new frame design, comfortable, roomy, strong, unbeatable value

Weaknesses:    Small stock bars, STP SS comes with DJ3 and it isn't amazing

Bottom Line:   
Great bike for the price. I did a lot of research on this style of bike before purchasing one and this came out to be the most bang for the buck. I got a custom build SS, built up with an 8 speed system because the MS STP's took too long to ship from Giant and I was impatient. The SS comes with a fairly weak fork, but for the price it can't be beat. I have the stock SS MX4's though, and these work very well for cheap mechanical brakes. The soles may be better... not sure. Bottom line, getting started? Buy this bike.
