Strengths:    Very fast rolling, good traction at low pressure, doesn't cut up easily, thicker sidewall, easy to convert to tubeless.

Weaknesses:    None I can find.

Bottom Line:   
Love this tire: it's fast on hard pack and even works well on the soft stuff. Been riding them for about 3 months doing ~50 miles/week on fire roads and singletrack, rocks, wet trail, pavement and rattle snakes without a flat (knocking on wood). Converted to tubeless about a month or so ago and been riding at 25-30 PSI without a problem, other than having to add more sealant to prevent the beads from small leaks. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the ride quality, durability and fun these tires provide. Try 'em and see for yourself - Bontrager offers a 30-day unconditional performance guarantee on all their tires, so you can't go wrong.
