Strengths: Very smooth shock that swallow everything: rock slide, jumps. Very cool and safe riding everywhere.I like technical trails. That's the perfect tool.
Weaknesses: Few pounds less will be better.
Bottom Line:
Higher price means more long-term value. You can race this frame for 5 years on World Cup and everything is still perfect. Future is now: don't wait. Buy a Foes 2.1!
Bike Setup: Saint carnks and derailleur. 8" Hayes Strocker brakes. Twenty6Foe flat pedals. ChrisKing headset. Mavic rims. Foes set-up.

Strengths: Strong..no way you can break them. Unbelievable cornering & very nice pedaling. If you like Dh...that's the ONE! One of the kind design with 16" i2i rear shock...GREAT! Like Ferrari in bicycle.
Weaknesses: Pricey but has a good tech support. Hearvy but stable.
Bottom Line:
Again, one of the kind design with 16" i2i rear shock. Make bicycle in a whole new level...really rising the bar. Makes rockgarden like pave. You don't get tired that easy. Why? This bike will do the job...you don't even need to brake much believe it or not. If you like Dhling....you need this bike.

Strengths: this frame is the best dh frame available, the quality is amazing, the performance is even better.It feels like a small travel bike when pumping, jumping and cornering, but when you hit a big section the curnutt shock takes every thing you can throw at it.
Weaknesses: none
Bottom Line:
You will not find a better dh bike than the new foes 2:1 dhs mono, it out performes all the bikes listed above by miles, it is way ahead of its time in comparison to all other dh bikes available at the moment.it is the fastest race bike out there, plus it is so well made you will never break it. Well worth the money...............

Strengths: The design, and the way this bike hugs tight singletrack, and handles drop's
Weaknesses: None, some may say the price but, if that bothers you buy something else. The wait for this frame was a pain but well worth it
Bottom Line:
This is a great bike. My bike is like 40 pounds, but feels much lighter. It handles anything that can be thrown at it, tight single track, rock gardens, drops, all with no problem.
