Strengths:
Great looking bike, excellent ride and perfect for first time bikers. Good RST forks, good gears, greap grip and response from the road and offroad.
Weaknesses:
Forks have no "really hard" setting like the similar priced XC bikes, but this is a very picky weakness with it.

Bike Setup:
Standard
Bottom Line:
This is my first real bike which I use for social times. Dont cycle to work, but do use it offroad here in the UK, cycling across the rivers and canal areas into the country of the UK. Really pleased with this bike, paid about £300 for it which is about $340-50 at the time of writing this. the RST forks have a hard and soft settings - but the hard setting will still feel soft if you have a big upper body - despite this it is still one of the best bikes I have been on.
