    Strengths:    Great bike for the money. Rear lockout on shock. Low price. All components work great together. Riders position on the bike is nice and upright and very comfortable

    Weaknesses:    none yet

    Bottom Line:   
    I couldn't find a better full suspension bike for the money. The rear shock is a little springy but I can't complain with the price I paid, plus the rear shock has a nice lock out feature and It's still a nicer ride than my hard tails. The bike has been abused on the weekends and has held up strong even with me being 210 lbs. The riders position is nice and upright and weight feels properly distributed between the seat and handlebars allowing for hours of riding on the road or trails. It is a great value overall and if your looking for an excellent full suspension bike on a low budget, this is a great bike to buy.

    Strengths:    Frame and components, great value

    Weaknesses:    Rear Shock, but considering the price it is really hard to complain.

    Bottom Line:   
    This is most likly the best bike you can buy in this price range. It has 120mm travel 4 link frame that has great geometry. The components work well together with the exception of the rear shock. The rear shock is way to soft, I am only 5'7" 165 Lbs and I have had to crank the shock all the way down to prevent to much sag just from sitting on the bike. I have ordered a Rock Shox Monarch 4.2 to fix this problem. Other than the rear shock I love the bike. Everything seems to work well together for such a great price. If you are looking for an entry level XC/All Mountain bike look no further.

    Bottom Line:   
    Totally happy with this bike. I've had it for 3 months now and I've taken it on every type of terrain imaginable here in Florida.. from sand to rocks to roots; and everything in between, it has easily taken me over every obstacle.

    It is also very sturdy. in the begining I wrecked a number of times and the bike just keeps goings. It's a great entry level bike thats perfect for a beginner.

    The Ibex customer service is very helpful if you run into any problems too. One of the best descisions i've made was to purchase this bike.

    Strengths:    Excellent Value! Great starter bike for anyone interested in XC and Trail Riding.

    Weaknesses:    Shocks, both front and rear...but considering the price I paid, you really can't call it a weakness.

    Bottom Line:   
    The experience I have had with Jack (the owner) and Will (Jack's right hand man) have been unbelievable. I will buy from them again and again. I am already looking at getting a Asta Pro when the 2007 model come out. The customer service is second to none with these guys. That was definitly a concern buying on the internet. I have no complaints whatsoever. They put out a great product and also provide you with customer service poaralled by few.
