from Riverside, CADate Reviewed: December 19, 2009
Strengths: Beefy frame, awesome Fox 40s, incredible feel. I thought I was riding a marshmallow over rock gardens and into drops.Weaknesses: Not many. Price is of course an issue, but look around you may find one well under MSRP, I did. could use some newer technology such as direct mount stem. Chain has come off occassionally, but carry an allen key and your back on the trail.Bottom Line: This is my first DH bike and I am truly a convert for full suspension. Especially with 8+ inches of travel. In the past I was worn out after a few runs, I can go for days on this bike. It runs like a champ, hugs the corners and instills confidence. I'm over 6 feet and over 200 lbs and this bike loves the abuse and keeps asking for more. Truly innovative engineers went to work on this model. No more bracing for the impact on drops. Highly recommend this bike for the price and all the high end components it comes with. Not to mention its made in the good ole' US of A.

Strengths: Bottomless. Strong as hell. Stiff rear end. Adjustable leverage ratios. Adjustable geometry settings. Looks pimp.Weaknesses: Not a weight weenie frame.Bottom Line: It's a blast to ride. I have mine down to around 40 pounds with what's on it, and I couldn't care less. It's a bit of a pig, but it literally floats over everything. Some bikes jump, some skip, and some are just stable. This is a mix of them all. Amazing feel.

Strengths: Great, handles any bump or rock in the way. Long and handles very nicel around turns.Weaknesses: The chain slaps a litle on theswingarm, but that is being picky.Bottom Line: The bike is great handles everythig that you throw at it and does it flawlessly. Peals well especialy for a downhill bike. I use t for freerideng but mos\tly downhill and it surpased all of my expectations.
Buy he bike if you are up for a great ride that pedals OK when you need to get back up the hill, and takes the ride smooth on the way down

Strengths: kicks ass, 9 inches of travel, indestructable, dhx 5.0 rear shockWeaknesses: only comes in small and medium, need a largeBottom Line: This frame is the best. I use it mainly as a freeride bike but also a racer. I have yet to bottom it. It is fairly light and has 9 inches of travel. If you are looking at buying a new dh bike look at this one.
