| Pros | Geometry, seat, rear derailleur, brake system, paint job | | Cons | Cranks, front derailleur, grips | | Verdict | Best bike for the money. This is my first MTB after a few road bikes. I love the hardtail and love the G2 geomety - very comfortable. Others bitch about seat discomfort, it's been fine. upgraded to Eggbeater Chromoly pedals, Michelin tires. Grips are no biggie but without a locking mechanism, very anoying. great, great bike at the price. | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
| Pros | Very slick bike.. handles very well for me on tight fast singletrack. | | Cons | Have a had a few shifting problems..nothing major. | | Verdict | Bought this bike in Feb of 07. Road for a few months and entered my first race. I thought the bike performed flawlessly. Very smooth on the down hills and certainly light enough on the climbs. | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
| Pros | Love the lightweight design, great braking and the shifting is pretty smooth... This is a very agile hardtail. I ride urban alot so the lockout is nice, but then i get onto the trails and tear it up... greatbike!!! | | Cons | I did have a prob shifting once or twice, but i was just out of my gear range, woops!! | | Verdict | Buy this bike for all your typical XC and Urban riding, just dont drop it too far. |
