Pros
good components for the price. I like hardtail bikes vs. fs. The frame is bomb proof.
Cons
I have the 08 model with suntour shocks instead of rockshox. I am constantly adjusting the "self adjusting" disk breaks because they drag.
Review
for the price, its hard to find a better bike. I dont know that I would spend too much money upgrading the bike.
