Strengths: Really strong, can take anything. Awesome frame, pretty light setup, good parts for the price.
Weaknesses: The fork is a bit soft, but honestly you can still do some amazing stuff with it, only bad riders will blade the fork right? :P The front derailleur is crap, and the chain get stuck between it and the frame. just put a chain tentioner and it's all good.
Bottom Line:
Put a chain tentionner, change the front derailleur, if you adjust the rear one (Deore) it will do, even if I changed it anyway :P Strong as hell, good wheels, if you get a good deal on it, go for it! ...and the fork is not that bad.

Strengths: Great frame, Rockys are always amazing, the paint is too good to compare to anything else, nice and thick, and everything seems relatively solid, although I do only weigh 145 lbs. Strong wheels.
Weaknesses: Fork is annoying. Gets all sticky and doesn't want to move, and then as soon as I put some grease on the seals, it gets much better. The wheels seem heavy, though are pretty strong, the hubs are terrible, the bearings were already shot after about 6 months of riding with at least 2 cleanings every week. The brakes are ok, nothing fabulous, and the pedals are horrible. I rode this bike for 3 months and I had already broken one of the pedal axles. I replaced them with Azonics and the problem was solved.
Bottom Line:
I am quite satisfied with this bike. Despite my grievances, this bike was responsible for creating my interest in the sport of downhill and freeride. I feel that this bike is extremely versatile and although there may be a few quirks, the bike will allow riders to experiment with all aspects of the more extreme side of the sport.

Strengths: awsome bike, great for jumps and urban riding strong beefy canadian hand made frame and pretty good components, tire are gangster yo lol... theyre bling bling
Weaknesses: nothing much .... the only thing ive had some problems with were the derailleurs.. but who doesnt have problems with those ... i cant think of many weeknesses, oh and a ticking noise or something in my cranks... dont know what that is though . .better get that checked
Bottom Line:
great bike ... super stron .. components are pretty good .. i got it for a grat price works awsome for dirt jumps od street riding ... not the softest ride ... the seat is a bit hard ... but mneh awsome bike ... buy it if u have the money ... or the kona shred (2005) if ur looking to get into biking ... there both amazing bikes for awsome prices andu get awsome components for no more than 1200 bucks ... (canadian)
Strengths: Beefy, balanced bike, fork isnt too bad. pretty good components. good brakes for mechanical. good on the jumps, and just around town freeriding. real thick rims and "Bling Bling" tires.
Weaknesses: fork could have been better, but like it said, its not bad. single speed maybe with a chain guide. nothing else really.
Bottom Line:
Real good bike for the money. im enjoying it anyways. works for just about what ever you want it to, except it cant do everything a downhill bike can do. but its not made for that!!

Strengths: Stout Frame with good price to quality ratio. Wheel better thatn rhyno lites but marginally heavier. 24speed is a lot more forgiving and less likely to hop after a smack to the derailer. Fork is awsome.
Weaknesses: The front derailer is a road bike looking part no good. Bling Bling tires are real heavy.
Bottom Line:
good bang for the buck if you want a freeride hardtail. Its a decent street rig too.
