Pros:	This is for the LTD but they didnt have it so this will do. A great entry level mtb for the price for $1000Aus you get judy TT's travel thats a great fork so far nicely taking up 5 foot drops, not bad for 80mm travel. Deore gearing Avid V's and a sturdy frame.
Cons:	The tires it comes with, you'll wana change those and my seat got bent badly in the first 2 months. The deore gearing isnt great but you can fix that.
Time Used:	1 Year
Comments:	This is a great bike to start out on casue it can handle upgrades nicley, it has front and rear disk brake mounts. A 130mm travel fork on the front would work really well too, something like the marzocchi z.1 or Rock Shox Psylo's. If you new to mountain biking this is a good way to start, if you put in a little extra at the start change the gearing to XT and if you weant to do some bigger stuff get a new fork but thats it.

Recommendation:	Yes I would recommend it to a friend
