$1200.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike4U | | Strengths: | Great geometry, Massive bikes for Aggressive XC
Nice stock setup (for the price of course)
| | Weaknesses: | BRAKES ( Hayes Sole ) , front brake got replaced after 2 weeks ( 2 rides or so ) anyway consider replacing them for something more serious , the stock brakes suck ...
WTB seat - nothing bad but just not good , i want to be spoiled :)
| | Similar Products Used: | my first bike :) | | Bike Setup: | Stock | | Bottom Line: | Amazing bike for the Inter. beginner
very strong and aggressive but when considering going into more technical maneuvers I would suggest replacing brake system to something a little more serious

$1300.00 | | Purchased At: | isarel | | Strengths: | very good strong quick and "beafy" frame with good geometry for all mountain ride with still a reasonable weight for xc.
the fork and the rear suspension give an almost bobing free ride and yet give more than enough travel when you need it. the option to change the travel on the fork help when going up-hill. | | Weaknesses: | the bike came with deore and it more than recomended to upgrade to xt if you find yourself on trail often.
for free-ride wannabe i'd recommend a harder spring on the rear suspention.
for weight freeks - a bit heavy
