Strengths: Looks Great, super nible when rollingWeaknesses: Suspension sucks all your energy. Tons of pedalling bob. Suspension couldn't be set up properlyBottom Line: Bottom out king. I couldn't even manual a set of 8 stairs without it bottoming out, and that was with a 1000lb spring!!!!!! And I'm only 150lbs. Plus it would bob when I was pedalling downhill, while sitting down, on a sidewalk! Get a small stinky. The suspension is waaaaay simpler, can be set up easier, and it pedals like a hardtail when you're sitting down, you can even use it for XC, they're lighter, super nimble, has two more inches of travel, are waaaaaay more versitile, and they're just as cheap.

Strengths: Great frame design. Tons of standover room. Great geometry.
This thing rips for DJ's and fast DH single-track!!!!!Weaknesses: Rear shock is pinner. They could've atleast hooked up a Vanilla R...Rear travel: Could've made it 5" even, but hey, it doesn't matterBottom Line: Sweet little bike. They're small, and you absoutely must get an Axiom telescopic seat post to be able to ride it any real distance. The frame is realy Burrly, and even with only 4.3" of travel, comming from a HT, it feels like 10"...
Cant wait to hit the MRT...

Strengths: Components, Frame design, price, this bike is flat out fun. this bike has less than half the travel of my dh rig but twice as fun.Weaknesses: heavier rear spring, I weigh a respectable 187 and find myself bottoming out on the simplest things. heavier spring a must.Bottom Line: I now know why so many people are buying HTs, light FR bikes. they are so damn fun. Luggin around 40lbs bikes is fun, but theres only so much you can do with them.
Goin from MOnster t to dj3...wow
Once I get my hookworms this bike will be set.
Bottom line, this bike rips.
