Strengths: nice handling and sturdy build, ok ride.
Weaknesses: sadly frame isn't all cromo, neither is the crank, like a run the mill bmx bike.
Bottom Line:
bottom line bike is to heavy for trick standards period. i'd hate to say it but it's a truck. Beginners don't need a heavier bike...lol. Go for lighter product. 100% cromo. i had an old Redline, superlite that was so easy to lift, superhigh bunny hops.
Bike Setup: gryo, steel pegs, front and rear braking system, maximum strip.

Strengths: Very Light. Brakes work good. Strong frame, very flickable. Comes with great Kenda tires. Reasonable price.
Weaknesses: Brakes work good at first, but once you bend the rim just a tad, they fade hardcore. Cranks are terrible. I've had mine for a little over a year, and it split where the built-in pinhead is. Wish the wheels were double-wall, not stock singles.
Bottom Line:
Great bike, but needs better aftermarket components.
Bike Setup: Very nice bike. and i would recommend it for starters. Not well-built for the big guys, but it will last you a long time without having to replace anything.

Strengths: Really nice brakes, they stop the bike immediately. Rather light, and a very strong frame and forks.
Weaknesses: I'd always like to see a lighter bike.
Bottom Line:
This is a beast of a bike. It feels like your in total control when your jumping on anything.
Weaknesses: a little heavy. should go a bit faster.
Bottom Line:
i recomend the bike i mostly just free ride on it i dont race or anything ive tried racing twice and i won the bike is good i strongly recomend it. try taking the pegs off because it might be lighter. the bike is perfect for freestyle 360 handlebar spin.
Weaknesses: Wheels, cranks, bearings, brakes, heavy
Bottom Line:
It's heavy, and all of the bearings are going to crap. The brakes are pretty much useless after the first year or so, even with new pads. I bent the rim bad from one impact. Feels kinda small now that I'm 5'10
Bike Setup: Primo balance wheels, GT pro crank, khe bar,khe seat,khe front axle and khe premium tyres, odyssey rotor, odyssey seatpost and odyssey rear axle...
Strengths: The bike is decent for a beginner. It sucks balls after you learn the bunny hop because the rims bend, the grips wear down in a week if your lucky, its heavy as ballz. The stem and forks are decent because there non-threaded 1 1/8. The tires are nice, and pegs are fine.
Weaknesses: This bike is terrible, i wish i bought the performer. It is so heavy to learn bunny hops with. The seat sux, it has sucky padding so when u learn bar spins your knees get sore. The pedals are heavy, and grind down in no time, it has a 1- pc crank that snaps in no time. The sprocket is 3/32 so it bends after grinding on it. The rims are singlewalled. This bike over all sucks get a haro or something
