Strengths: Frame, handling, light weight.Weaknesses: Brakes and the CRAPPY SUNTOUR FORK. Tires aren't good for cornering, you can go down pretty easyBottom Line: I tried a great deal of bikes before getting this one. It was the lightest in the budget range I had at the time. I am just getting start and am entering a couple of local races. I don't ride it on pavement at all. But after all of the upgrades I made to the front of my bike those parts are worth more than what I paid for the whole bike. But what really matters is that I am pleased with it. And I really am.
I must mention though. about a month and a half of riding and while riding this bike the upper part of the fork came out of the lower casting. This could have broken my neck. I just want people to be aware. I didn't crash this bike very hard or anything or jumped it off anything more than a foot. Be very cautious of the fork. The Trek store warrantied it and they were very good about it. But I don't trust it anymore and that's why I upgraded to a fox float and had to change out the front hub to accommodate the 15mm thru QR.
