I have had this bike for about a month and I really enjoy it. I havent had the time to hit the trails yet but I have rode it around town and used it for some commuting. Overall I am pleased although I am already considering upgrading the forks
Very good starter bike. Decent components. Could use lots of upgrades.
Cons:
the fork sucks. I blew it out in the first 6 months and had to get rebuilt. That is the only bad thing on the bike
Time Used:
More than 2 years
Comments:

Great bike to start off with. You have a bike that will last a few years with a price that doesn't. Bike Looks great and will stand up to some harsh treatment with a little bit of TLC.

Less Than A Month

so far this bike has rocked, i thrash it pretty hard on the concrete as well as the single track. this will be a nice bike to start building up when the stock pieces start to break (i.e. front suspension, componentry, etc.) nice job specialized!
