Pros: great value, suspension is smooooth and strong, pedals well, climbs well, downhill is butter, handles quickly

Cons: heavy(ish)

Recommendation: really fun bike to ride. highly recommend you overlook the diamondback name, bypass that urge to overpay for a name you see in every bike mag, and ride a bike that is made to do it all. point it and go--up or down. give it the gas and it will roll over absolutely anything in your way.

BOTTOM LINE - the bike rocks - ride it, demo it, buy it - you don't ever need to overpay again.

Pros: Amazing value, Great supsension design, climbs well for all-mtn, Goes downhill very fast w/ great control/ handling

Cons: none

Recommendation: This bike is fun to ride, saved enough money to buy my mission and all my accessories all under $3000, love the suspension design. No pedal feedback, good climbing capabilities. You won't be dissapointed. Just pedals over everything!
