Strengths:
This bike has a very strong frame and is very hard to break Perfect for a weekend enthosiust and begining riders. Good brakes and tires. I have had no real troubles with this bike before and it has been ridden hard. Good price
Weaknesses:
Th gears on the bike could be better. Junky tubes, I stoped using the stock brand after popping 3 of them in the first 1 1/2 years on the bike.
Bottom Line:
This is a great bike for anyone who is going to be using it for street and trail riding. It is not for the very serious rock and down hill riders.

Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
Built like a Hummer, and with the same climbing ability, provided you like to really mash the petals. Pretty hard to damage/destroy unless you're doing some serious technical terrain or downhill, in which case you shouldn't be on this bike anyway. I use it for XC training in the city, and it works fine -- the extra weight only helps build those muscles. Smooth ride.
Weaknesses:
The cranks aren't exactly pro-caliber, but are good for the price. Handling is a little squirrelly due to the geometry.

Bottom Line:
Well built novice/hybrid bike that doesn't mind being ridden hard, either on the trail or through pothole-ridden parkng lots.
