    Strengths:    Great shocks, great feel, good center of gravity/handling

    Weaknesses:    tires were very bad in the muddy soil

    Bottom Line:   
    great bike. I would reccomend it to anyone who likes more slopestyle/bike park than super fast downhill, great for drops and jumps. Jumps just as well as my HT, which is great. It's surprisingly light, too. My friend has a BigHit, and it's about 25% lighter, which is a nice advantage. Since the bike is designed to be small, the center of gravity is very low, giving great stability. However, i was surprised at how the juicy 5's were not great. I run a pair of 3's, and they work much better. Probably because of poor setup, since i rented it. Also, a bit expensive for its value, explaining the 3 chilis for the value/quality.

    Great bike! i'm getting the '08 in spring!
    Dont buy this bike if you suck. it's not meant for you.
