Strengths:
It is a really solid frame i have the 2008 model its gold but i have to say for the money i paid i couldnt have gotten a better bike. i weigh 190 pounds and the frame seems solid under me
Weaknesses:
the front forks need upgrading but they are decent for a beginner but i am past that stage i have a giant vt2 also so this is a bike im going to upgrade and keep it parked for a while except on when im going somewhere i havent ever downhilled before
Similar Products Used:
giant vt2, kona stab deluxe
Bike Setup:
its setup more like a cross country bike but with some easy adjustments it could easily be switched to a full on down hill bike
Bottom Line:
It is worth the money and its the best bang for the buck
