Pros
Show alot of different bikes and gear. Love the bike expo reviews though for new products.
Cons
Usaully heavy on the big brands like SPEC and TREK. Not to much on the regular "JOES" bikes.
Pros
Occasionally a good article between ads.
Cons
Too many ads.
Seems geared more toward the freeride crowd.
Review
I have never really gotten into this mag. Maybe I'm just too old.
GET OFF MY LAWN!
Seriously though, I find the photography and articles to be better in Bike magazine.

Pros
Compare and contrasts different bikes and options that you can put onto bikes. Reviews inexpensive to expensive bikes and gives their opinion on what they should do differently.
Cons
none so far
Review
MTB Action is a great read for any person who loves the sport. They do cover more all mountain and cross country stuff but that is what most of the readers do.
