I have just ridden it a couple of times on short rides, however, the performance is amazing. I am able to climb like never before and it offers very responsive handling. I just went from a Jekyll to this, I find this bike to be much more responsive and a much better climber.
Weaknesses:
None so far

Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
light, stiff, loves to climb, fast around corners, balanced on descents
Similar Products Used:
Santa Cruz Heckler, Trek hardtail
Bike Setup:
Added some air to rear shock
Bottom Line:
I have done two long rides on this bike. It feels like a very solid unit that fits my riding style of fast uphills and controlled downhills quite well. Look for it in the middle of the pack at the Xterra race in Temecula due to my lackluster swimming and running ability.
