ProsI have the 2006 model. Plush feel and great at absorbing the rough stuff. Climbs great for a heavier bike. Judy J4 RockShox front fork is better than expected.
Consheavier than my riding buddies bikes.
VerdictI love this bike. We've been through wars together. My buddies have all spent double what I did yet the GT delivers and I have no problem matching their performance on the trail.

ProsI've owned this bike for about a month and a half and love it. This thing is a serious climber -- I never notice any bobbing thanks to the i-drive system, and aesthetically, it is a great looking bike. I have heard a few people complain about the weight, but I've never felt like it is slowing me down. I didn't want to drop $3-4k on a new bike, and I can't imagine finding a better value than this one.
ConsThe rear shock is pretty basic, Fox Vanilla Float (no rebound adjustment)
VerdictThis was my first full-suspension, and I think it is a steal for anywhere close to a grand. I paid a bit more for it a couple months ago, but I've seen it lately for $1100 -- well worth the money.
