Strengths: very light frame and durable. Excellent for climbing and fast riding,
Weaknesses: Too "nervous" when you go down the hill.
Bottom Line:
Excellent bike but the fork needs to be a little bit heavy in weight in order to reduce trembling when you go down. Good taking fast curves. Mine has SID World CUP fork with Xloc and beat 29ers when climbing. Designed for race
Favorite Trail: sandy and Rocky trails in Puerto Rico
Duration Product Used: year and a half

$5000.00

Strengths: light,fast,acute climber, well balanced and stiff.Beautiful to look at and even better riden.
Weaknesses: none so far
Bottom Line:
I´ve been riding for 20 years and by experience I can say this: It´s a well built bike,fast, balanced and climbs very well... actually it climbs great!!!! You have to keep in mind that it´s a hardtail and can´t expect it to ride like a FS or should be treated as such. But it handles well on the down incline whether it´s single track or fireroad and won´t let you down if you keep in mind that your riding a hadtail.
It´s stiff and responsive on climbs. The RIB seems to do it´s job superbly.
You won´t be disappointed with this bike if you know want your looking for......a hardtail.

Weaknesses: Confirmed manufacturing defects. Carbon chain-stay broke on initial test ride causing injury and parts damage. Not a crash related frame failure but a confirmed manufacturing defect.
Bottom Line:
This product should be recalled and poses risk to any user regardless of riding style, terrain or rider weight.
Fuji refused to cover actual damage costs in spite of acknowledging their defective product.

light bike. handles well. different geometry and not really used to it yet. should be able to give a better review in a few months. bought as a full on race hardtail and on paper it fits that bill. fork is really nice and flex free. new xtr is fantastic
