Strengths:    price. durability, peddaling effeciency,

Weaknesses:    front end can be twitchy at slow speeds, rims could be better, wtb seat didnt last long

Bottom Line:   
i love this bike it has gotten me through everythin florida can throw at it with out a hitch, we might not have the crazziest drops but its still a tough bike. the only thing that ever broke was the ti rails on the seat. this bike also handles flawlessly once you get used to it. it. it needs to be pushed to get the best performance out of it but this might be because of my longer forks. all in all though this is a great bike and i enjoy it more than other $2000 bikes

Strengths:    price, excellent mixture of components, came from factory with diffent components than listed above. i'm 6'1", 225 lbs 50+ years old and put 1200 -1500 miles a year on this bike with 2 major tuneup in that time.

Weaknesses:    only weakness was mavic rims and spokes having to be trued several times, have now changed to ritchey zero dish and eliminated that problem.

Bottom Line:   
this bike handles all terrain i covered with it with only a couple of minor problems with mavic wheels
frame well made, light weight for the money, bought as a discounted new return because a bike shop told consumer wasnt a good bike.. lucky me hasnt stranded me any place in 2 plus years I will replace with another mongoose pro bike when i have to
