Strengths: Stiff, light, comfy, very responsive.Weaknesses: For the price, rear shock should be RP3.Bottom Line: This bike exceeds my expectations. I have only owned hardtails previously, as I was afraid of increased weight, and trouble with "bobbing" on climbs/acceleration. I experience none of that with this bike! I cannot believe how quick it is, downhill and up. After 3 months, I already have more confidence with this bike on the trails than my last (which I also loved, BTW). The increased comfort and control with the rear shock is impressive. I will never go back to hardtail. I highly recommend this bike (if you have the $$).

Strengths: Frame is extremely well built, stiff, looks good.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: While I've only taken this bike out on two rides, the trails were fairly technical and this bike far exceceded my expectations. The frame is very stiff, and where other frames would flex when I really cranked on a climb, this one felt very solid. The component set is excellent and the only reason for 4 chilis in value is the steep price tag - but you definitely get what you pay for in the handmade frame quality as opposed to the assembly line crap pumping out of Asia. Overall - definitely worthy of 5 chilis!
