Strengths:Very tough frame,great tires and grips.
Weaknesses:Incredibly weak parts!!!
I've been riding for quite a while.I love how this bike rides, however it gave me alot of trouble.What I mean by this is the rims bent out,the crank snapped,the pedals lost all grip,and grips are easily worn.I'm only a 120 lbs rider.

Bike Setup:dirt
Bottom Line:I had to replace so many parts, so I reccomend you buy a tr 40 or 50.

Favorite Trail:Body-cast at Sunday River
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $330.00
Purchased At:Moriah Bicycles
Strengths:Price, and race-ready components right out of the box. The Bontrager rims are impossible to fold.
Weaknesses:A bit heavy. It would be better if t was 100% cromoly or better yet, aluminum. Also, the handlebars are WEAK
Similar Products Used:many Gt's
Bike Setup:Stock except for tioga factory BMX tires; 2.3 front, 2.1 rear.
Bottom Line:This is an awesome bike if you are a beginner or a good rider looking for a beefy bike to take the punishment of rough trails and sick air. If you are looking for a bike for racing or trick BMX, I wouldn't recommend it because of weight.

Weaknesses:REALLY HEAVY
fat people break the pedals
Similar Products Used:gary fisher cleo moto
Bike Setup:ive got mostly stock(bontarager on trek and gary fish.)except for odyssey twisted team pedals and shimano deore breaks.i like to ride with the handle bars even with the forks and i like the breaks to be at the point where i can just pinch them slightly.
Bottom Line:the bottom line is this...
this bike is a good ride for beginners and for vets
just dont let fat people ride your bike or the trek platform pedals will break,strip the threads in the crank and empty your wallet.
