Strengths: Frame is super thick boxed chainstays. Very light,good for jumping. Super Boxed chainstays help add durability to the aluminum.Weaknesses: MADE FROM ALUMINUM!Thats about it.
for dirt jumping:3/8 axles. Not a problem for its intended use for racing, but with the super boxed chainstays it lasts great for jumping.Bottom Line: Great frame, nice and light, lasts for dirt jumping due to boed chainstays,BUT IS ALUMINUM.

from Melbourne, AustraliaDate Reviewed: September 12, 2005
Strengths: Frame, strength, weight & looksWeaknesses: It's a GT, great product, lousy aftermarket service.Bottom Line: Ok I'm going to be the first to admit I'm not a BMXer. So my opinions are pretty much based on nothing. I'm a mountain biker and got a BMX to goof around because I want to improve my skills. Got this bike because it was going way cheap in eBay & it was literally brand new.
I can only compare it to other GT mountain bikes that I own (which is quite a few!). It's about the same weight as a race prepped Zaskar Pro but way stronger, zippier, corners like a slot car & far more fun to ride! Far easier to launch jumps and way less forgiving (comparing to MTBs) on landings. Oh and almost no brakes. If you learn how to push this baby to limit (and keep it there) then you can ride anything off road fast. Any mountain bikers wanting to improve their riding skills , look at BMXers and give these little 20"ers a try. The BMX guys put us to shame.

Strengths: Frame, just like all of them...Weaknesses: Everything cept the frameBottom Line: I'm sorry I bought this bike.
Within the first week the brakes had died on me,
The brake clutch's went from ok to dead,
The Cranks rattled off to hell and it feels like i'm
grinding it to shreds and my wheels don't roll freely.
I don't suggest any Gt product. I'd suggest a Haro or
Hoffman (if you have money to burn), there good for all around vert, freestlye, and dirt! I'm now using a Haro
and the last 2 months it's taken all the abusement, thank
god the dealer took back my last bmx...

from louisville, KY , USADate Reviewed: November 30, 2004
Strengths: Everything. Truvativ race team cranks, You gotta give GT credit for those sweet 13.2 oz forks. also This was my first time usuing an intergrated headset, SDG "I" fly seat railess design i couldn't believe it was an sdg seat! The seat alone is worth $220!!! And i love it. Magnesium pedals are awesome LIGHT 22.3 poundsWeaknesses: not really a weakness but the grips will wear out after about 13 races or at least start to wear out. But that isn't even the bike, thats seperate, thats grips.Bottom Line: As my hommie ross said; If you are serious about racing this is the bike for you. Stumpy took a few wipeouts on it but stumpys crazy as crap! IT ALSO THE MOST BEATUIFUL BIKE OUT THERE don't stare at it too long or it will start to tickle your pickle.

Strengths: crap i just wrote so much and it got deleted. Short and simple, THIS BIKE IS THE BEST STOCK BIKE YOU CAN GET ANYWHERE.Weaknesses: help me find oneBottom Line: buy the bike if your a serious racer. it's not a toy, just cuz you have the money doesn't mean you have to have it. I have been racing for 7 years and am currently under 16 expert and i honestly have yet to see a better bike.
