Strengths: the suspension on my o8 stp1 is fab and the brakes are lethal (in other words the really good and really sharp)Weaknesses: the inner tubes have popped 18 times between the front of rear and the grips rub of straight away and are patheticBottom Line: a good quality bike but some of the minor parts will need upgrading and also try and upgrade the tryes as they arnt very grippy jump tracks... but if you are thinking about getting a dj bike you must go for this bike the stp1 08

Strengths: The frame! It's a great lasting starter setup that allows you to upgrade components slowly over time as things wear. This bike will take anything you throw at it. I may be biased but this is the one of the best feeling aluminum framed dirt jumpers on the market.Weaknesses: maybe some of the components, but those are upgradeable and they have done a great job for me for a long while so no worries.Bottom Line: You will think about riding all the time when you aren't on it, and you will forget about everything when you are on it!

from SLO, CADate Reviewed: January 22, 2009
Strengths: Good price, good parts, very solid frameWeaknesses: Wheels, bar, pedalsBottom Line: Great bike for the money. Solid parts, good ride, takes abuse no problem. Proven DJ bike geometry so it works well. Manuals very easily and can really be whipped in the air. Reasonable weight for what it is, good fork for DJ (not great for 4x though). Chain guide is pretty good though kind of tough to clean.
Wheels might be okay for most but I got unlucky. Mine were all screwed up; you can see the spokes were all twisted up and stripped out inside the rim so I blew out the rear wheel just by riding a parking lot with my 3 year old kid and doing a skid out in the first hour of riding. Pretty lame they didn't catch that in quality control as the wheels are otherwise pretty good and would last with a good build. Bar is way too narrow for me (I'm 6'1" and it's only 24.9 inches) so that had to be replaced. Fork takes a few days to break in, mine topped out like crazy the first couple rides but now is good, still super firm too which is nice as I have a tendency to over-jump doubles. Pedals are already letting go which isn't all that surprising considering how cheap they are.
Overall I'm very happy with the bike despite the wheel issues (for $800 with that fork you really can't complain. Heck, a new wheel and bar were only another $110). I only ride it on jumps and in my pumptrack where it does very well and seems to take abuse. As far as the ride goes, it accelerates quickly, turns fast and is maneuverable in the air. The fork takes big hits without harsh bottom out and the short chainstays make gaining speed on pumps really easy. Brakes are kind of crappy mechanical things but who cares about brakes on a DJ bike?
I definitely wouldn't recommend this bike if you plan on doing much trail riding. Tires are a little too street for my taste but work on the pumptrack (but are sketch when dirt jumping).
For 99% of people looking for a DJ bike this one will fill the bill.

Strengths: frame geo, forks, cranks, tires,Weaknesses: stock stem, bars, grips and seat.Bottom Line: fantastic bike for the price and you only need to spend around $300 to upgrade the stock parts. The 08 model is going cheap now that the 09 model has been released.
If your still on the fence about buying this bike then i recommened you get off the fence and go buy 1.
