This bike is amazing i have literally riden it off cliffs and it takes everything not a thing wrong with it except...
Cons:
these marzocchi exr pro forks are crap. They are not worth buying and the only thing that needs to be replaced. I cant do anyhting downhill with these , however they are decent on dirt jumps ,just as long as you arent jumping to flat your alright

This is a well thought bike for the price. Maske a couple of upgrades, and you'll have a bike that you can have fun with for years to come.

Pros:
Very good bike for the money. Only need to upgrade the Marzocchi EXR fork. The rest of the bike is solid
Cons:
Marzocchi Fork..Very noisy...

I love the bike. It is well balanced expecially for a clydesdale like me. Will take anything you throw at it, just upgrade the front fork. It climbs well for a full suspension bike, tracks well at speed through tight singletrack, and lands softly off the big drops.

This bike has very tunable rear suspension. I have crashed pretty hard on it and it held up extremely well.

Pros:
The X2 is a great bike that can handle just about anything. I've thrown this bike down ski resorts, hucked off cliffs, and pedaled it around town. This is a great bike at an even better price!
Cons:
None that I can think of.
Time Used:

The suspension does a good job of softening up those cased landings, but you might consider upgrading the fork if you are really going to abuse it.

Pros:
The extreme 2 v bar is a good performer. Handles crashes and wipeouts with having frame damage. Discs and suspension do what they are meant to.
Cons:
have not found any yet
Time Used:

Comments:
I added lizard shins to protect frame from chain slap, and cage to hold battery for lite but otherwise it comes complete. Keep it clean and it is a great performer.

Pros:
everything: this bike has held up to a hell of a lot of hard off road freeriding and continues to get better.
Cons:
cant think of one yet

For the money I couldnt think of a better bike. The brakes have held up to continued use and suspension is handling the repeated beatings beautifully.
