Strong smooth track, fairly good use of componetry for the price.
Cons:
Keep the rear shock at the outside of its pressure point, will be replacing the front monoshock this next week, original is too weak for the XL sized frames.

Overall, this is a fairly equipped bike for a great price point. For the more advanced riders, upgrades are easy to come by. Would definately purchase another Cannondale.

This was my first nice mtn bike and i am getting a lot of use out of it and the only thing that i have to replace is the tubes tires and rear derailer hanger($20) other than that the bike has run flawlessly and i am in love with it.

Pros:
Good service when it breaks.... I broke
the rear triangle on a jump. C-dale fixed it. Tracks and climbs nice, just be sure to put a lot of pressure in the rear suspension.
Cons:
The DAMN Headshock... Its like a pogo stick! I'll be upgrading to something else when i can afford it! It also came with a flat handlebar, I have replaced that with an Sun Ringle Uncle Jessie...Way nice now!

Good bike for the price paid, I dont miss my hardtail at all. The componets are good, but not great, I just replace them as they wear/break. There is a mysteryous "creaking" sound that comes and goes. Its a mere annoyance now that I'm used to it....
