Strengths: Great pakage, great parts/price. Killer looks, stiff/durable as hell, great fork (DJ2).Weaknesses: Little bit too steep angle in front, 8 gears too many, too big back tire, should be 24"
Bottom Line: damn good bike for beginning urban assault career. Learning the basics and sucking in the free riding ideals. Full recommendations for a great entry-level ride.

Strengths: Incredibly strong! It can't be broken. Frame, fork, wheels, brakes and crank are all excellent.Weaknesses: The seat and chain rollers suck! Take them off.Bottom Line: It is a great bike. It's 32 lbs of bomb proof equipment is heavy, but there's no stronger hardtail on the market.
