Strengths: The frame is light as hell, strong too. It is cheap but is still made from reynolds 7005 Al and has disc mounts. I only bought the frame though.Weaknesses: The decals look cheap and aren't lined up properly. No performance problems.Bottom Line: The only original thing on my bike is the frame itself. It is good and I'm overly happy with it. If you just want a bike to bum around off road on this is a good one.

Strengths: The frame isw a 21" and is very solid. The backm tire is great if you are under 220 lbs.Weaknesses: For me im between 230 and 250 lbs so i got the guy at petries to build me a back rim so i can still give it a bit of a beating. The Judy TT Rock Shox are ok but dont expect them not to bottom out if you hit hard. The pedals.Bottom Line: Overall it is a great bike if you want to put say $400 more when buying it to get a couple upgrades like the pedals, rear rim, shocks. Put it this way over everything else you get more than what you pay for in this bike.

Strengths: Good, solid frame.
Red color is great.
Gears & brakes are very good.
I find it quite light for a MTB.Weaknesses: Front forks (Judy TT) seem a bit soft.
Hand grips are too hard.Bottom Line: This is a fantastic bike.
If I was to take up XC-MTB racing I would definitely use it.
THe comments about the forks and hand grips are only minor.
Highly recommended !

Strengths: Strong Frame, Handles well, relitivly light, good components.Weaknesses: front fork. No bashring. (very minor)Bottom Line: This bike is great for the money, beefy enough to handle 4-5 foot drops. Front forks not the greatest but very good for the money. This is an all-around great bike for the beginner-intermediate freeride and can handle trails.
