Pros
burly bike - built strong - great component set - I am 6'2" 275lbs and this thing takes everything I throw at it - for the money, I believe this is the best all mountain bike out there - read up on different riders experiences and you wont find negatives - i freeride this bike and singletrack it - up steep hils it can be a bit cumbersome, but I think that is more of my weight than the bike - in seated position it climbs awesome - also at 35 lbs for the large frame its relatively light given its capabilities.
Cons
standing to pedal on really steep inclines (im 275) so it may just be me
Review
im a bmxer at heart and love jumping and once I learned to jump this bike I couldnt stop - its amazing the way it shreds slalom and soaks up the big hits - i swapped the rear shock for a fox dhxair 5.0 and its like butter - i love this bike
