DUring the frames five year duration, I have put about 1000 into good WTB rims w/shimano Parallax hubs(Q.R), good front suspension forks, Acera rear derailleur, DMC pedals, a Beefier spring for the rear shock and now ride a Bontrager Jones'' ACX-B tyre on the front and a Michelin Dual Compound expert A.T. tyre on the Rear.... overall decent XC bike, but MUST UPGRADE COMPONENTS.

easy shifters,light weight,easy to upgrade componants

crappy if used with original componants

Comments:
I race offroad bikes for money, and if you spend about 400 extra for components such as better brakes,wheels, ftsis housing, and many others this bike becomes a fast durable mountain bike. btw the first time I raced it I lost due to failure of rear brakes, followed by failure of rear sprocket
