Strengths: very tweakable, easy to jerk around in tight spots, balanced jumps, and very smooth landing if the rear spring is adjusted properly, very durable, built like a rock. Rims are very solid too.
Weaknesses: don't like the tires, tough to launch unless spring tension is really high but that goes with all full suspension frames i guess.
Bottom Line:
Me like my fuji. I am a novice, but I feel like a champ on this frame.
Strengths: components, fork, solid steel construction, by solid i meen solid, i love yellow, not much pedaling required to go fast down very steep paved hills, even my mom loves it but she loves white, no fear of theft, maintenance free fork, also love damping, no confusing adjustments, wheels are light and black ilove black
Weaknesses: the altus groupo too heavy had to upgrade to full alivio, much better shifting now, but i miss the mega range gear in the heat of race situations, but i guess its my own fault i love hot dogs, and gained a bit of weight latley, it also didn't come with a one piece crank which i preefer over these confusing axle lengths, it was hard to find a 53 tooth big ring to fit my alivio cranks but i guess thats my fault as well, i love alivio, i love pizza too, im hungry
Bottom Line:
fuji has out done themselves with this model, i can't believe all the accesories i can fit on it , its a perfect racing machine for people who have an eye for quality, and a wallet full of lint. i love hot dogs . e-bay kicks ass, LBS sucks.
