Pros: Cheap price

Cons: Cheap components
Awful customer service

Recommendation: I checked out the specs after i bought the bike. Every component is rock bottom end of the line. Some components are even discontinued models and this is a 2012 bike.

Model/Year: 2011

Pros: Rock solid frame, good geometery, good components. And the price, mine was $807.07 with tax and shipping.

Cons: Weight, this bike is heavy (38lbs), the front fork is a little too soft, and you need to assemble the bike.

Recommendation: This is a very tough bike that has handled every thing I have thrown at it. 5 foot drops, and jumps are no problem even with my 210lbs on it. This bike flys downhill but you will pay for the downhill performance on the climbs. This bike is a great starter and with a few upgrades will be awesome.

Pros: The price. The MSRP on this bike is misleading, as it is currently selling for $700 on Giantnerd. In addition to that killer price tag, the graphics and frame are absolutely bomber!

Cons: While this is a solid component spec for $700, for an accomplished mountain biker the several of the stock components on this bike will feel undergunned, especially the front fork.
