Strengths:
Strong, Reliable, Silent(minus the xt rear derailleur hitting the swingarm). Adjustable geometry lets you lower it to the floor, or jack it up for a 10" fork. Wheelies awesome, manuals better than i do. And built to take a hit.
Weaknesses:
high leverage rear shock ratio blows out a romic in 3 months if you're hucking. Get an Avalanche, this will fix the problem.

Bike Setup:
hadley hubs, mag 30's. super monster(limited to 10"), avalanche DHS 3.5 r shock, xtr 8 speed, race face bars, bb, crank, post. king steelset, hayes mags, michelin 2.8 tires
Bottom Line:
best dh/huckin frame for the money. Don't try to save money by getting the eliminator. The fsr linkage makes this bike dreamy.

Strengths:
Outstanding rigidity everywhere, super adjustable geometry, perfect anti-squat/pedal characteristics. Sits very high but not unreasonably so with the 8" 888R on there. Very plush and progressive, the Romic shock works astonishingly well-especially over brake chatter into a turn or over rough ground in the bottom of a g-out. A close second to the Turner in this case, but so good everywhere else it makes up for it.
Did I mention rigid? you can lay it over in a brake slide and stand it back up with no twist or chatter, just smooth plush suspension movements.
Steering is a little slow with the long fork, but not once you get it compressed a little when it's pointed downhill. Very quiet and
Weaknesses:
A little heavy...who cares?

Best bang for the buck in HD FSR DH bikes, period.
