Strengths: Design, stiffness
Weaknesses: Brakes, shock, fork, weight
Bottom Line:
The reason why I write this review is that I want to assure evryone, that even with shorter shock, the frame works well. The performance is even better after replacing X-Fusion with Fox rear shock. Of course, the weakness is, that the bike is not that sensitive as bikes with a longer shock. Using a longer shock, the effective travel changes to 115mm - which is OK for rougher handling. The weight of the whole bike in 19" size is much too high, but still acceptable.
