Weaknesses: too heavy. not agile enough off road. too expensive. waste of a good frame. fork too soft. doesn't have a clearly defined role. gear change too slow.
Overall: why? not a cheap winter alternative, not a good all year bike - esp off road. difficult to see it's raison d'etre.
Strengths: Light, high build quality, look great, absorb high frequency trail hits and stop fatigue. Great warranty.
Weaknesses: Bar ends, if fitted, must be only just tight enough to hold - might crush the composite otherwise.
Overall: Very desirable piece of kit for the ultimate contact point of any bike. Fit, forget and be admired, but also enjoy your ride more. Buy some now!
