Strengths: cranks, god sized handle bars, strong frame, strong pedls, nice brakes,good colour scheme, durable wheels, good for on/off road use,the whole bike is goood
Weaknesses: cant raly think of any
Bottom Line:
pretty expensive where i bought it but on other reveiews thy got it much more cheaper so im just wondering what thats about , very excellent bike for beginners or pros durable so you know it wont break on you,reliable excellent bike no need to change stock parts i only changed for simple reasons like the seat wasnt very comfortable but other than that if you see one pick it up becasue a bike this good wont last long in shops grab it while you can
Strengths: Crankset, handlebars, brakes, definetly the rims, tires pretty much everything
Weaknesses: Grips=horsepoo you have to have gloves otherwise its torture, the seat, its comfortble but but the tip really beats on the back of your legs, i have the 05 model but only minor details change from the 04 and the new chain tensioners dont do anything AT All
Bottom Line:
awesome bike, im 140lbs and to me the bike is so light, easy to jump and pedal, indestructable,awesome traction, so if you want an awesome jump bike get this one whether youre a pro or beginner, and for begginers its an easy road cause this thing jumps for you

Strengths: Perfect sized bars, Light/Strong frame, Solid stem, Great tires, And a good seat.
Weaknesses: Small pedals, Weak plastic chain tensioners, Short pegs that are useless, Oversized sprocket for my type of riding, And a 3/8 front axle.
Bottom Line:
Good for the price I got it ( $150.00 on Ebay NIB, $270.00 stock ). Comes with some good strong light parts, I modded it up alot but I'm picky when it comes to my bikes. Good beginner bike if you keep it all stock, Modded up it can be an awesome street bike. Almost as good as my Haro and I got it for like $300.00 less. If your just starting to ride pick one up while you can, It's rare to find a stock bike that good.
Similar Products Used: My Haro Nyquist R1, My friends Haro Backtrail X3.
Bike Setup: Cut the seat post, New grips, New sprocket, New pegs, New tensioners, New pedals, And I took the brakes completely off.

Strengths: 3 piece crank, jumps very nice, feels strong, and it lands really smoothe.
Weaknesses: The handlebars have a low rise, but thats personnel preference. Feels heavy, but i am only 120 pounds, so for bigger riders it should be fine.
Bottom Line:
For $200 this bike is a great value. Not sure how long it will last, but for $200 its a great begginer bike.
