Strengths: Low Price, Smooth shifting, looks good when clean!Weaknesses: Weight,Rusts, Higher gear rings wear out fast.Bottom Line: Was a great cassette during the first bit of the season. The higher range cassette rings (7-9; smaller ring gears) wore out super fast. This caused the chain to jump upon heavy acceleration. Considering that its my GF that rides the bike 98% of the time and is in no way a hardcore rider, I not impressed with the quality or strength of this cassette. Switching to a Sram!

Strengths: The 36 is awesome on the super steep climbs. Let's the 29er do its thing without spinning out.Weaknesses: Heavier than race cassettes, but who cares when you can climb everything.Bottom Line: This cassette came with my bike. At first I thought it was overkill, but after riding it on some super steep sections and cleaning them I was a believer. The extra 2 teeth let the 29er become a rock crawler and you can clean just about anything in a steep uphill if you have the lungs to power through it.
Favorite Trail: Any
Duration Product Used: 6 months
Purchased At: Specialized
Similar Products Used: Many of the top end Shimano and SRAM cassettes.
Bike Setup: Epic Comp 29er stock.

Strengths: Very stiff, durable, soft shifting, nice colorWeaknesses: A little heavy (382 grs or so)Bottom Line: The most affordable price/quality cassette so far. Really good, it resisted a lot of kinds of chains and bad use while shifting. Pretty good! Maybe if you want something lighter the SLX is a better choice.
