Strengths: Strong frame,Has comfortable handelbar position,shifts great. And awsome brakes.Weaknesses: Shimano crank not the best for me.Bottom Line: I am 6"1 300 lbs I can tear up a bike beleive me! Most people of average size will not have the same issuses. The front suspension has held well considering how much weight I put on it..Over all a great bike I am very impresses and for the price nothing can touch it .Were else can you get a great mtb under 500.00 with disc and have this quality.. I liked it so much I bought my wife the 300HT, but no upgrades there she is not fat like me and dosent need the added reinforcement!

Strengths: This review is for the 2003 500HT. This bike has a great front suspension, frame, Shimano components, and disk brakes. All this for a great price.Weaknesses: The color: Dark purplish/blue. Also, Motobecane is hard to find.Bottom Line: Great Bike - both on the road and off. I tried similarly equipped and priced competitors and loved the feel of the 500HT. The ride is balanced - an equally good on the street or on a trail. Throw in the disk brakes, smooth front suspension and great overall ride and you have a great bike.

Strengths: Quality aluminum frame w/ oversized tubes, good saddle and great brakes. Handles well and is fairly light. Shifts easily.Weaknesses: Nothing for the price. The fork is a little soft, mostly because I'm on the heavy side(250 lbs/6'-3"); going to get replaced with a Manitou SX this spring (bought it for the Rockhopper previously.)Bottom Line: Great value bike for weekend warrior trailriding.
Favorite Trail: marine creek lake / ROCKY trails

Similar Products Used: Older Specialized Rockhopper. Liked the Giant Rainer, but wasn't ready for that much investment just yet. Nice bike.
