Strengths:    Climbing, descending, control, speed.....

Weaknesses:    It does not pedal for me

Bottom Line:   
This bike is a little star.
I have a Sunday, 6 point and an Azure, all at very high specs.
The Azure is an ex team bike, so in that respect is lavished with the best goodies that you can get in terms of weight/strength.
Being a Dh'er I have a 50mm stem and easton carbon Dh bars on the bike and she still comes in at 25lb.
I use mine as a commuter bike, but the commute for me is on lots of single track from the door to over half way to work which is just ace.

Strengths:    Everything... DW-Link is one of the best suspension designs on the market. Y do you think the maker of Titus bikes is starting a new line of Upper-scale mountain bikes that all use the DW-Link. All the components that come on the bike. Very fast and easy to handle bike.

Weaknesses:    Progressive 5th element AIR shock. I don't understand why they would outfit this bike with all high-end components and then stick a 5th element shock on it. It works ok till it breaks. O and let me tell ya, the customer service at progressive shocks is absolutley HORRIBLE!

Bottom Line:   
This bike is made to race and tackle any XC course thrown at it. It climbs as if it were a hard-tail, descends as if it were a 5 1/2 inch travel trail bike and goes as fast as your legs can push it. I have owned both the short travel and long travel bikes and none have performed like the azure. The santa cruz blur LT was sweet with the 5 1/2 inch travel, But the azure feels just the same to me. It never ever has felt like it bottemed out on me. I can assure you that you will not be dissapointed with the azure. The DW-Link is awsome, read about it a mtbaction.com. O and by the way for what it is worth. I ride a Medium frame, I am 5'9" and weigh about 150 lbs.
