Over all reasonable construction. Aluminum frame so decent weight. Great bang for the buck. All the bells and whistles for someone on a budget.
Cons:
Perhaps a little light on the front suspension. Takes a bit for work to get the shifting lined up, but once set it will do the job.

I know there will be a bunch of people who think the bike is cheap etc. But for someone and there are many who are on a budget this bike will to the job. Keep in mind I wouldn''t suggest doing huge jumps etc but for the average person who just wants to play on the trails this will do. If you plan on giving the bike a beating, this may not be for you.

Pros:
It was free. And new.
Cons:
Pedal clearance bad, suspension very soft, like riding a lazy boy chair, and the rear suspension part is so cheap I''m afraid it''ll break if I tighten it anymore. Gears definitely do not stay tuned and rims warp easily.

Comments:
If it''s free, ride it till it falls to bits. Meanwhile, keep looking for a decent bike, hardtail preferably.

Pros:
I don't think there are any... this bike is just horrible. Well, the frame is O.K. I guess...
Cons:
The dérailleurs are horrible, the chain slips at least every ten minutes, and yes I know how to shift properly. The break pads suck and they rub up against the rim. The suspension is just wretched, the front forks move when I pedal, which is not supposed to happen.
Time Used:

Comments:
Don't buy this, do yourself a favour and stay away from this bike. Took this on some jumps 2-3 feet and the front forks almost exploded.

Pros:
Cheap and nice look. Smooth shifting shimano derailleur but I adjusted myself. Canadian Tire guy doesn't know F..K all on MTB?
My front suspension is OK for my weight 170 lbs.
Cons:
Rear suspension is a bit soft, even after ajusting.
Time Used:
Less Than A Month
Comments:
I use this every day to go to work (22 km total) in town. The dual suspension is perfect because the streets are very rough in Montreal. I can jump sidewalks with no problem.

Very cheap, I like the shifters and derailers, when they are adjusted properly, good rear suspension, brakes are good when adjusted.
Cons:
Always making adjustments to derailers and brakes, front shocks are junk unless there is some magicial way to adjust them that is beyond me.

Good bike for the price I paid. I like the fit of the bike, it's comfortable on longer rides. No peddel to ground clearence to peddels hit a lot. Needs a better fork on the front.

Nice looking, very comfortable, good downhill

the front forks are junk, the bike is un-reliable and the front brakes rub against the wheel
Time Used:

Comments:
i put a Bmx seatpost on it so my weight is shifted to the rear. this bike can be very fast going downhill but all your weight must be on the back wheel. this bike is un-reliable, i went off a 2 foot jump and my deraileur snapped off which doesnt make sense but oh well. i reccomend this bike, make sure you have money to upgrade the forks, the brakes and some other things.

the front fork bottoms out every time i sit on it
Time Used:

Comments:
the front fork is an HPS, which does not exist according to google, so it is impossible to find out how to adjust it...no knobs, screws, or levers to turn, so how am i supposed to adjust it so it doesn't bottom out all day...what is the point of a suspension system that is constantly compressed...the only rebound is when i get off the bike...this fork is completely useless!
