Strengths: Bags of travel with enough adjustments to keep you scratching your head for a while. Decent off the shelf spec.
Weaknesses: It's quite heavy and isn't exactly designed for climbing the hills. The specialized tyres aren't exactly the best.
Overall: A perfect bike for the UK DH scene with enough travel to cope with anything you throw at it. Works well out of the box. Now the Demo 8 is being released you can pick new ones up fairly cheaply, i got £500 of mine at Evans Cycles in the sale.
