a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: July 2, 2012 Strengths: light, climbs very very well, durable, and descends just as well as it climbs. Overall excellent Trail/All mountain bike. Weaknesses: Its a give and take weakness, but the bottom bracket sits fairly low, so pedal strikes are common as if you were riding a 29er, but by it being so low, it shines in the turns and going downhill. Also for a carbon frame it could be a tab bit lighter. But a 6lb frame is pretty damn light and im sure the extra weight is for durability, so again, not so much a weakness, but something worth mentioning.
