Strengths: Bomber frame, very responsive for such a heavily built bike, Very stable, Decent components for an entry level, very upgradable, fairly light for such a heavy looking bike. The tires are HUGE, and rock for bouncing over obstacles. The damn thing is just pretty looking, And it's Canadian. Awesome.Weaknesses: Shock is too cushy, not adjustable enough. The Alivio components are a little dodgy (Front derailieur is a bit slow and Brake levers rattle too much) Maxxis Mofo tires tend to eat it in the sand. The side lugs also bend over on rocks. The tires could be a little less beefy. OH and BY GOD Replace the DAMN SEAT!!!!!Bottom Line: Sweet ride after a little tweaking. The frame just wont quit and the ride is like it is on rails. The seat just has to go and this bike could greatly benefit from a more appropriate shock (Marzocchi Marathon, Fox Vanilla, Manitou Black) and disc brakes (the frame is set up for these) Great bike though.

Strengths: Everything works awsome.Weaknesses: none at all ... except you have to where pads on ur legs because the pedals will tare the skin off themBottom Line: The bike works awsome dirt jumps, downhill trails, flatland riding, freeride, and some trials. The only thing I would change would be the fork. For me (190 lbs) the 4" bomber EXR isn't big enough because I have bottomed it out a couple of times. I've bailed off of it many time while in the air and I can get back on it and keep going without even putting a scratch on the frame. Awsome all-around bike but best for downhill trails and dirt jumps/freeride
