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.

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

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.
