Cons: Tires have thin sidewalls. Issue with pressure in rear break, I think its a warranty item. I have to pump the brake to get pressure sometimes.
Recommendation: I have been riding on this bike for close to 4 months, step up from a rockhopper. I love this bike. Drop the front suspension down for climbing and open it up for the downhill. This bike definately climbs well and descends better. I would ditch the tires first chance and the grips wear quick. I'm gonna send in the break lever for warranty over the winter. Overall I love this bike and have really nothing bad to say about it.
