Pros: Plush ride, stable through rocky and washboard terrain.

Cons: Geometry felt compressed front to back for a tall rider (6-foot+). Overall the frame felt a little on the heavy side.

Recommendation: I rode this bike as a "loaner" and it performed well for the task, though I don't know that I'd buy one for myself.

Pros: I have had a few chances to ride this MTB and I loved it.

Cons: NONE yet
