Strengths: It is an excellent Bike. Turns make you feel like you are on rails. Active suspension.
Weaknesses: Very little for weaknesses.
Bottom Line:
For you homos out there who think it is your duty to clutter up these review sites with your crap about the products guess what. It's not. You say it sucks compare it to a unicycle and dont give a single reason for why you made this judgement. Oh, and if you're reading this the bike is not the dissapointment to man kind: That's yourself you're thinking of.
Anywho, for all you non-freaks out there this is a great choice of bike. It handles like none other and is second to none over the rough stuff. Deep braking bumps are sorted out with the DW-link suspension which tends to stay active under braking and pedalling. it's a great choice for anyone who loves to ride down-hill trails, resorts, or races, and happens to have 6000 dollas hangin round.
I actually dont hate your guts tom, i just want you to understand that this is a site for opinions, not garbaging a good product without giving a reason. You could have had a bad experience with it. I understand. However, you could have told us what happened or what you didn't like about the bike. Instead you just mindlessly attack it. We will never get a strong knowledge base on websites like this to help consumers make smart choices if people who dont think about the negative consequences in their actions keep adding garbage like what you have done to this review. Please refrain from damaging things like this in the future, and i wish you good riding!

Strengths: THE COMPLETE WORLD CUP BIKE FOR THE MONEY YOU CANT GO WRONG.THE PARTS,THE DW LINK WOW.THE BIKE IS SO EASY TO RIDE VERY FAST AND ACTIVE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION.SUNDAY RULES..
Weaknesses: PAINT CHIPS EASLY AND ..TOP SHOCK MOUNT WEAK .JUST CALL IRONHORSE TALK TO TOM HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
Bottom Line:
GO TO ANY DH RACE AND YOU WILL SEE THE MAJORITY OF RACERS ON SUNDAYS.. THE BIKE IS THE HOTEST DH RACER OUT THERE,THE DW LINK SUSUPENSION IS SICK YOU GOT TO RIDE ONE TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS BADBOY OF A BIKE DOES ITS FAST CORNERING AND JUST FLOATES OVER THE RUFFF STUFF. BOTTOM GOOD OF ENOUGH FOR SAMHILL GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.RIDE A SUNDAY ..
Strengths: fast in corners thats it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weaknesses: This is the worst made frame I have ever come across.(and i 'v been racing since 1991) nothing is in line no the rear end. the spacing on the pivots is out by a few mil, Don't buy this product. Iron horse should'nt be making bikes if this is the best they can do.
Bottom Line:
This is a poorly made piece of crap. if you are thinking of buying one, get saving as you will need a new frame in about 4 months.
there is nothing good about the sunday factory frames. Ironhorse are just cashing in on sam hill's world champs win.

Strengths: The suspension is amazing. DLINK allows the bike to float over everything...even when you try to get a pedal in here and there.
Weaknesses: Price
Bottom Line:
This bike does more than it claims. Yes it's a top of the line downhill racer. But this thing pedals uphill better than many freeride rigs! Can't say enough about the DW link. Tuning the suspension, especially the HIGH TECH fork, can be a handfull. But the payoff is riding to best DH bike around. Best bike I've owned.
Strengths: um it was exensive so it must be good and it had good tires that had black knobs on them n the disc breaks r sharp i cut my finger off trying to work out how they work
Weaknesses: i broke me the bike shop dude said "it is strong enough for riding off cliffs ...cough" so i tried it and i broke me. and u can not put trining wheels on it (casue i canrt balance on it)
Bottom Line:
it is a good bike it handles the gutters really well and it diddnt break when i stacked on a step in the shop it is good for riding on grass but yeah it broke me when i jumped off a cliff on to flat. it is a great bike it doesnt Break
This bike not only has extremely active suspension, but it also pedals really well. Would definately recommend this bike to anyone looking to get into the DH scene.
