I absolutely love this bike, I paid $800 and it is worth every penny. Handles all the jumps, and hard trails I've ever thrown at it. Comparable to my Iron Horse Maverick.
Cons:
None to speak of besides the rear trailing arm needing a bushing.
Time Used:
1 Year
Comments:
If you are looking to get a full suspension bike for a bit less than the 2-3k bikes. This is for you.

Pros:
Price, Great components, Price... and did I mention the price?
Cons:
None that I have found yet... Maybe no quick release seat post to change from XC/Climbing to Descents, but that's just being nit picky.
Time Used:
3 Months
Comments:
Best Bang for your buck bar none. I got a strange model, Mine is a Black Sinister Comp, but the Hardwear matches the Sinister Race... Must be a end of production "let's just use what we got" model.
Can't say enough good things about this bike.
To the idiots who suggest not using this bike as a downhill bike... That's not what it's meant for and you deserve to hae to buy a new one after trashing this.
What it is is a great aggressive XC bike. it climbs well, descends well and the suspension can handle decent abuse.

Light
Great components

Great bike if you just want to ride XC, not great out here in Whistler.
Pivot point keeps blowing up, 3 sets of bearings and pivots in 2 months.
Blown shock within 2 weeks upgraded spring helped.
DO NOT JUMP THIS BIKE OR RIDE IT REALLY HARD

Pros:
Great full suspension for $600. If you are not racing you can't beat this rig.
Cons:
A bit on the heavy side.
Time Used:
3 Months
Comments:
You can't beat the components and overall durability for the price of a Sinister Comp. Smooths out the roughest terrain.
