Smooth ride and comfey seat. The V brakes are great but i upgaded to hydrolics. | | Weaknesses: | This product wont take a good thashing with the original components and the bike as a whole deserves better forks than it comes with.

But the bike with all origanl parts will not take a tharashing but excellent frame. If you want the bike for getting about on or just to have a cycle then you cant get much better for your money.

But being a moderate rider in moderate conditions, I found this bike exceeded my expectations. It's weight and design make it a well suited bike for off-road and city biking all in one day. My only complaints would merely only fall in a cosmetic and comfort (comfort being seat, not the biggest obstacle). I find this bike has inspired me to push it farther as it feels so much better than any reasonably priced bike I've tried so far. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$420.00 | | Purchased At: | Dealer | | Weaknesses: | Seat | | Similar Products Used: | Older Specialized w/out shocks | | Bottom Line: | I bought this bike new about 2 1/2 years ago for $420 (nice price)
I'm about 5"6 120-125pnds
Since then this bike has taken quite a few hard beatings, i've dumped and bounced it off sidewalks, a couple times badly. Flipped it, (the brakes are great) and twisted it all over the place and just in general neglected and abused it. I'm not the type of person who really takes care of the bike as well as others. I've also let teenage friends go and and just jump the hell out of it (and i'm not talking little jumps) they too dumped it and spilled it HARD a few times. I also let another friend for a full 8 months borrow it he's 6"2 220pnds he rode it EVERY weekday to work for about 15-20 miles. after all that it still rides great to this day. The only thing i've done to it is basic tune ups. I will say the gear shifting now isn't quite as smooth as it used to be but i think thats just because of the amount of abuse i've inflicted on it.
The only complaint i have about the bike is the seat. Otherwise it's stood up to an incredible amount of beatings. I'm suprised to hear people say the shocks were a problem. I find this bike to be quite light and VERY durable. Everyone i've lent it out to has been VERY impressed with its performance, weight, durability, and Especially with the price. Over all i'll be happy to purchase a later version of the GT aggressor (but at this rate i dont think i'll need to) This is the best bike i've ever owned.
