a Downhiller Date Reviewed: May 16, 2012 Strengths: bike can take anything you throw at it, i did everything from 20-30 mile XC rides to downhill and freeride, i hucked this bike off of drops, big jumps, and then raised the seat and rode back up to do it again. this bike went way above and beyond my expectations and still does every time i ride it. Weaknesses: cable rub, and the chain squeeks, nothing else!
