Strengths: Esthetically beautiful to look at. Easy and intuitive to ride. The bike forgives a ton of mistakes and keeps you riding.
Weaknesses: I guess it's unfair to call it heavy...but my other bike is a Scott Genius RC 20...so I feel the weight when I ride the Ransom. On a technical, ride with more downhill than climbs, the Ransom is wild. On a more XC ride with lots of climbing...you feel the weight.
Overall: A beautiful, fun bike to ride. I've ridden trails at Squamish, Whistler bike park and the North Shore with this bike and it made all the difference. It a reassuring ride that inspires confidence and helps you push the limits. The XO components are awesome and just make the bike all the better.
