Strengths:    4 bar rear suspension is awesome, bike is light but strong, excellent frame that is easily upgraded, definitely one of the best xc fames for your $$$$.

Weaknesses:    I'd love for it to corner a little faster.

Bottom Line:   
One of the best XC frames I've ever ridden. Motobecane doesn't get a lot of respect here in the US but I've worked at a bike shop and have sold them in the past and they are seriously underrated and underpriced for the performance, durability, strength and quality you get. My bottom line, buy it!!!

Bottom Line:   
Value for the money, you cannot beat this bike. I bought the bike from ebay last year and upgraded to full XT components. What a difference it made. Climbs like a hardtail and even raced it once. You can spend a lot of money for a more expensive bike but would performance be any better ? Not unless you want to get a Cannondale Scalpel and dish a lot of money, this is a great bike and highly recommended for the budget conscious rider. I have not had any problem with this bike after 2,800 miles of hard riding. Definitely got my money's worth.
