Cons: Because it's built like a tank, It's super heavy. The brakes need constant tuning, and the shocks flatout suck.
Recommendation: Throw on some fox lockouts and better brakes and you'll have a solid bike for cheap. I'm 6'3 and 220 lbs so I've abused the hell out of it with some pretty nasty falls, but it just keeps going. I'm getting another bike soon (stumpjumper) but I'll def. keep this as a reliable backup.
