Pros: It is a good bike especially for the price. The bike is stable going through rock gardens and feels solid off jumps.
Cons: The components seems to fail too quickly. After 200 miles, the spokes started to fail. I would get a broken spoke about every 50 miles of riding. After replacing 6 spokes on the rear wheel, I replaced the rear wheel and have not had a problem since. Also, the suspension is not as good as the Yeti ASR5 or the Stumpjumper.
Recommendation: This is a quality bike and is good for general XC riding. It feels solid through a variety of riding conditions. However, the components are designed for XC riding and not all mountain riding. The components, especially the spokes for me, broke earlier than I expected. If you want to do all mountain riding with this bike, I would upgrade the wheels first. Otherwise, this bike has handled everything I have thrown at it.

Cons: The seat is not as comfortable as others. The grips need to be upgraded for longer rides.
Recommendation: This is the only mountain bike I have ever owned and only then for 1 year. I am very pleased with its performance. I like to try anything and "Can the bike handle it?" has never been an issue.
