Strength:

Fantastic DH and freeride bike, i've been able to set the suspension up exactly how i want it and i cant really think of much to fault it for!

Weakness:

on the first ride out, the spokes on the rear wheel started snapping on any kind of landing to a jump no matter how smooth it was...it turned out to be a faulty set of spokes though, so they were replaced for free and it has been fine since!

Brilliant bike. Have been saving my (english!!) pennys for three years for one of these and its been worth every one of them and the long wait.
its improved my riding and enjoyment of biking no end!

Strength:

nice and plush. takes on anything. good adjustability of 888s and dhx3.0. very good value for money!

Weakness:

Small bolt on chainstay lost its threading - easily replaced. Seat post may hit seat stay under compression if it is too low. after riding a hardtail, the weight is like riding two bikes at once. but who rides up hills anyway...

defo a good bike to get into dh racing on. excellent value for money. all parts are great.

to sum it up: passers by give u thumbs up/high fives...

plush and ready to go really fast, can take some big hits and your feets won't jump off the pedals

Weakness:

none so far

this bike his really cool to ride and can handle about anything for me. The stock tires Kenda Nevagal are really nice they stick like a bubblegum on asphalt in about any condition iv'e tried (dirt, roots, wet wood, rocks and even in a snowy ski slope here and they control great) !! :)

good warrnety
looks cool(i use mine to pick up chicks)

Weakness:

rims are garbage and should be replaced RIGHT AWAY(i spent alot of time not riding because of them) the derailluers okay i guess its not very strong though and will probably need to be replaced soon enough

the bike is amazing and its great for any level of riding and i think you should go out and get one right now or atleast before you wanna go serious riding becuase it will help you sooooo much and then you can show her off to all your buddies
