    Strengths:    Great bike for the $. Strong, moderate weight, easily switchable from 150 - 170/180, good components for the $, no-name products ~ not here. Love that it is 8 speed. GREAT tires!

    Weaknesses:    Shock quality (but for the price, spot on).

    Bottom Line:   
    I bought two of these for my lady and I as our first gravity specific bikes. We both love them. We read other reviews on this bike, and after riding the FR30 for two seasons, I have not been let down yet. Yeah, it doesn't have a lot of glitzy parts, but the ones on it are solid. I thought I would upgrade the parts as I blasted through them. The only thing I have had to replace (other than a few tubes) has been a brake lever after she tomahawked it down a trail.

    The suspension isn't the most plush, But, Hey! Did you see the price?!?!?!?! I am in the process of upgrading to Totem and Vivid R2C, which should solve that problem.

    All in all, the bike is a great value if you are getting into gravity riding and can't drop $5k. It handles big drops (6' +), long airs (20' +), and it recovers well. It is a "hang on" ride, and I usually have one run a day at the slopes where I get off the bike and think, "there is no way I should have made that".

    My gal and I both recommend this bike.

    Strengths:    super easy to switch between 170 and 150mm.
    really light. stock it's 36 LBS.
    extremely good components for what you would expect based on the low price.
    jumps awsome! in 5 inch mode it really jumps like a slopestyle bike.
    really pops off the lips of jumps.
    great in every way.
    low standover
    the Short size is really nice and short so it's great for jumps.

    Weaknesses:    NONE!

    Bottom Line:   
    this thing is the best out there anywhere near the price. i could spend 2500 on anything and it wouldn't even come close.
    and i only paid 1650, got it brand new. 2011.
