Strengths: Great rear shock and easy to set up. Have always liked FSR handling and now have this with a lighter weight bike. Funky frame welding is a bit of a talking point - fits perfectly between epic and enduro for intended use.
Weaknesses: Not got on with M525 brakes, OK but soon upgraded to Hope that I had in the garage. Manitou Elite still not giving full travel so in a way wish I had gone up £300 to the next Fox equipped model.
Overall: Perfect all day machine that can cope with climbs and fast rocky descents.
