Strengths: Ultra Plush, Light, Nimble, and best components for the price.
Weaknesses: Err...None Yet, although seat is not the most comfortable (For me-ed)
Overall: I replaced My stolen Kona Coiler with one of these, and the while very drifferent bikes, this bike is awesome, and would not want or need anything bigger. The fox shocks are great, and Sram stuff, perfect...I just hope everything lasts through the winter so i can abuse this bike in the summer.
Strengths: Good value for money. Entry level freeride bike under £1500 and the possibilities of upgrades are great. Great Suspension, pedals really well. Good seat position and geometry
Weaknesses: Bit on the heavy side for all day in the saddle, but no weaknesses so far
Overall: I bought this bike because I wanted a full susser, I had previously looked at the FSR XC, Enduro and Marins, but when I saw the Coiler for £1200 you just cant beat that kind of value. Although this bike is 36 odd pounds, I havent felt the weight as it rides so well. The suspension is well balanced and I have had no problems climbing Leith Hill. This is definitely a bike I will grow into as my skills and experience grows.
