Strengths:
Nice bike for my daughter to keep up with us all on the trails. Nice transition to a real bike with gears and hand brakes. Adjustable pedals and handle bars, keeps up with growth.
Weaknesses:
Brakes fail after about 1 year. Need to replace cable and pads. Shifter is a bit weak, it does not take much abuse.

Bottom Line:
Expensive bike to buy and maintain, I would look for other options if I had to do it again.

Strengths:
Performs well for my 6 yr old. His first real MTB allows him to get on some suprisingly tough terrain.
Weaknesses:
Don't know of how much use the shock really is.
Bottom Line:
Great gor first MTB. Has a rear derailuer(sp?) protector which has saved it countless times. The cranks have two two positions for the pedals so kids can use the bike for at least two years. Looks good too.
