Everything! Fantastic climber and bomber. Juicy 7's. SRAM. Talas RC2 and DHX 5.0.

Bike Setup:
stock right now. works too well.
Bottom Line:
I can't believe more hasn't been written about this bike! It rocks. While f@#$#'n expensive, it's in relatively the same price range as the other 6/6 bikes mentioned. This really is a fantastic rig - all at 31.5 lbs! I am amazed at how much better I ride and how much less fatigued I am when I'm done.

Strengths:
The Whole Bike....
Weaknesses:
N/A
Bottom Line:
If you don't mind a little extra weight for 6 inches of travel both front and rear then this bike is for you... The new line of Super Cross Country (hence the SXC in the name) has pro pedal so it's not just a downhill... better than the lockout or the brain I think... Handles amazingly pedals strong worth every penny and will guarantee a smile on your face when you are done riding it!!!
