Strengths: Great ride adjustment for all conditions xc or dh.Climbing or decent,fantastic ride,and responsive to all types of trails in any situation
Weaknesses: Handle bars far to wide(upgrade)Brakes far to noisey(upgrade pads gold sintered EBC)
Overall: I had the 2003 model before this and loved it,due to a dissagreement with a car had no option by to buy a new bike and ribs.Love this bike to,had to change a few things but who rides a bike straight of the shelf and does't change it to suit them.Great bike.
