Strengths: overall weight, all components, awesome value, and responsivenessWeaknesses: Chain: broken twice when it shouldn't, once when expectedBottom Line: The very light aluminium frame took some getting used to on fast, rough downhills, the chatter took a couple weeks to get over. The bike is nimble in all situations and I outride a lot of "better" bikes on this ride. Its well suited to x-country rides (20-50km) and any racer can show up with this bike stock and expect to compete. It took a couple tries to get the air fork pressure set right but now it stays dialed in.

Bottom Line:
This bike can handle whatever you want to put it through trust me, I have had this bike for a little over three months and I love it. I have had some minor problems but nothing to serious. The only problem that needed attention was my right brake lever(Avid 2.0) ,which broke in my second week of owning the bike.
When I took tthe bike in to get fixed, Rocky Mountain was cool enough to credit me and I paid the store $28.00 and upgraded to the scram ESP 9.0 carbons.
The double butted aluminum frame is really sweet but I'm concerned about the Taya chain, which dose not go with my Esp 9.0 (by Scram) and XT front sproket. Overall this bike rocks,and gets me through my races with great performance and style. If you can get the chance to try this bike. I seriously recommend you try it,you won't be disappointed.
