Strengths: Great on the climbs. It so light and responsive!
I also really love this bike for the descents.Weaknesses: Nothing about the bike. The only thing I have to complain about is that my bike came with XTR brakes which I thought would be great, but they sucked! They never worked right.Bottom Line: I have been racing cross country mtn bike races since 2004 and I swear to you that my times dramatically improved when I started racing on the lightweight Solitude. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to do cross country mtn biking and/or racing!

Strengths: I've raced my Fezzari Solitude 5 times, still no problems. Bike climbs great, going from a seated climb to a standing climb this things just simply rips up anything.Weaknesses: On technical descents, I get an uncomfortable noise from the rear drive side, not too comfortable with the noise being a carbon frame; I keep thinking it is going to come apart. Good news is, I've not let up and it is strong and stable.Bottom Line: This is my second review of the Solitude, since my first review I've raced the bike 5 times. The bike should be winning races, my lack of training time keeps it off the podium. This bike is a climbing machine, 100% of everything put into the pedal pushes this bike up hills. It handles well on descents for a hard tail, nowhere near what full suspension bike offer but is well controlled. Races are won going up, this frame climbs. For more technical races I'll stick to my Superlight, for most races in SOCAL, I'll be on my Solitude; soon as I recover from my broken clavical...
Favorite Trail: searching for it...

Strengths: So far so good, very light frame. I built this bike ground up, rode twice so far, nothing too technical but will race within the month.Weaknesses: None, hopefully it stays that way.Bottom Line: Will write more later. So far the bike climbs great, lots of torque transmission to the rear, holds the ground very well, a real solid feel for a carbon frame.
