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.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: The Geometry, Strength, and AffordabiltyWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: This frame is a swiss army type of frame in the MTB world. It can function as a DH frame, a Trail Frame, an XC Frame, a dual Slalom Frame etc. so this is a best buy for those who cannot decide what forte of MTB their riding style would be.

from Mesa, AZDate Reviewed: May 13, 2004
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 andWeaknesses: A little heavy...who cares?
Steering is a little slow with the long fork, but not once you get it compressed a little when it's pointed downhill.Bottom Line: Best bang for the buck in HD FSR DH bikes, period.
