Strengths: Frame strength and geometry. Strong but not that heavy. Triple triangle design makes this the softest feeling rear of any Aluminum HT I have ever ridden.Weaknesses: Actual bike components are mostly rubbish. Complete bike is cheap, so damages reputation of frame.Bottom Line: >>>Frame only Review and rating<<<
Wouldn't buy the complete bike because of cheap components, but frame is great fun, jumps twice as well as an XC bike, twice as strong, OK for slightly longer than XC forks, prob 120-140mm max, surprisingly pretty good at aggressive AM downhills. Climbs and goes along on flat 80% as good as an XC bike, you end up with seat too low for efficient XC race style pedaling, wheelies and manuals really well.
If you are looking for an entry into DJ, urban or FR/AM on the cheap this frame is a solid buy and lots of fun, good all round frame. Or you just have old bits to lying around to whack on a cheap frame. Frames like Giant STP are in the same league, might be better or worse not sure never ridden one.

Strengths: good gears, crankset, rims, tyres.Weaknesses: weird frame geometry, crap suspension.
nearly bailed really bad because the suspension clicked out while i was in the air after preloading.Bottom Line: Everything on this bike is good except the frame and shocks, which is pretty much the whole bike. Do not buy this bike if you are planning to keep it for a long time, just get a second-hand dirt jumper of the internet.

Strengths: Frame, wheels, crank, bottom bearingWeaknesses: Shocks, brakesBottom Line: This bike does NOT suck and is NOT crap!!! This bike frame can take a beating, i've dropped 5' and jumped half pipes on mine and the frame is rock solid, the bottom bracket and crank are built like a tank. Its slightly smaller size and wider handlebars are excellent for tricks and jumping. I first saw this bike being battered downhill and fell in love (it was completely upgraded tho!). Other bike manufacturerers should learn something from this bikes frame geometry, it's the best i've ever ridden. I'm keeping this frame for life and will get another one if anything ever happens to it!!

Strengths: the little reflector on the handlebars is colourfulWeaknesses: everything except for the little reflector on the handlebars. for all you dumbass's out there, this includes, frame, fork, wheels, cranks, sprocket, chain, bb, tyres, seat, seat post, seat clamp, pedals, bars, stem, grips, gears, brakes and the fkn ugly paint job that makes it look like a wannabee dj bike, but then again it pretty much is just a wannabee dj bike.Bottom Line: its a crap bike. not even worth a cent. if you want to get a decent bike then dont even stop and look at one of these, first of all coz they're fkn ugly, second of all because they suck.
Especially dont get one of these bikes and then go around telling your friends that its sick because they will probably knock you out cos it's a piece of crap.
