Strengths: - Overall a very solid and smooth feeling
- Good brakes, I was surprised of their stopping power
- Frame is awesome, smooth welds.
- The RST Omega TNL (is Deuce the same thing?) fork does it's job fine, some say it's easy to bottom it out (haven't managed that yet), but you can easily regulate that with preload and hydraulic damping.
Weaknesses: -They could equip it a bit better. Don't get me wrong, Shimano Alivio/Acera derailleur/crank set works just fine, but there could be something better.
-There is another thing you have to be aware regarding the Cannondale/Bengal Helix 6 brakes (if you are in EU you probably get those). Almost surely you will find it unable to get any brake pads for this set. So what you wanna do is get pads for Hayes Sole, since those are the only ones that fit. They are easy to get but a bit harder to insert since they are a bit fatter than the original pads.Bottom Line: I bought this 26" SL4 2012 a week ago and it met all the expectations. In this price range it's definitely worth the money.
Rides perfectly.

Strengths: TIGHT....smooth ride....Great seat and riding position. I have put in 3 50 mile days on this bike and simply love it. I got the Cannondale team green...looks as awesome as it handles.Weaknesses: assembled in taiwan now....bike is still awesome and is truely the the best 29er HT frame you can get (I like it better then the Niner Air frame) but Cannondale should keep making all of the bikes in PA USA.
Better comps would be nice but that would raise the price considerablyBottom Line: One word.
AWESOME
