Strengths:
really strong frame, optional break flowter, feels alot lighter than it is, geometry adjustments, very good downhill or freeride bike.
Weaknesses:
so far so good, I was told that the break flowter is a little weak and that bends fairly easy, I don't used it because i do more freeriding than downhill.
Love this bike, feels very good doing drops and gap jumps but the real best comes out on fast rocky downhills. I your looking to get this bike, just do it can bit the price.
