Pros: great frame,tires,handlebars,and stem. The fork is awsome if your not riding to hard. i would recomend upgrading to one with 130mm.
Cons: the wheels suck they always go out of true. and I just broke the bearings. the breaks worked great for the first month but now they are impossible to adjust and i have had to replace the pads twice. I broke the bottom bracket, the shifters,and rear derailleur.
Time Used: 6 Months
Comments: I would only recomend it if you were to ride inthe skate park of dirt jumps. Its not very good for drops or trail riding.

Pros: Everything.The fork on it absorbs absolutely everything. Its m first real bike, but i can tell you, Darren Barrecloth would be happy with this bike. The cranks are nice and it just flows over everything. It has a real nice feel and i like how its set up. You can do any type of riding on it.Its set up for street, and yet you can freeride, and maybe downhill on it.
Cons: When u take drops or do landings(even small ones) the chain hits the frame or somethign and it makes a cracking noise. I did a small bunny hop(5 inches) landed and i got ral scared that something happened,cuz it sounds like metal cracking.
Time Used: Less Than A Month
Comments: I seriously suggest this to anyone whos looking for a quality hardtail for cheap. It is a great machine and built like a tank. I havn't had time to take this bike to its limits but, so far its ridden like a dh bike put into a hardtail. If Arnold Swartzenneger(i no i spelled it wrong) had a bike this would be it. BUY IT!!!

Pros: Almost everything. the frame the brakes the fork the bars the stem the seat the post the grips...
Cons: if you ride hard u wont like the rhyno lite in the back, comes untrue all the time but the front one is holding strong tho. the cranks are good but iv heard a lot of bad things about them so i dont know.
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: Probably one of the best bikes for the price out there. you gotta pick one up. i use mine mainly for street and dj and yes i did break my derailleur so now its single speed with a rennen tensioner and i totally love it. iv been riding it pretty hard and so far the only thing that i have concerns about is the back wheel which ill later replace with mavic d 521 on xt hub. I dont know what else to say, just a damn nice bike

Pros: Very stable, solid frame. best brakes around (imo), confidence inspiring ride, decent components (for price), nice looking package. one of the funnest rides ive had in a long time. very easy to get used to. i'll keep this one for a while.
Cons: don't like either of the deraillers. don't like the shifters. not crazy about the hubs.
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: all in all i love this bike. the things i'm not crazy about are just an excuse to tinker w/ an already good thing. still toying w/ the idea of making it a single speed. no reason not to give this the highest rating considering product price.
