ProsDrivetrain, BB7's, Reba Shock...the whole bike.
ConsTires, grips...other than that, it is just fine.
VerdictThis is my first 29er, and I am having a great time with it. Plus, I paid less than $1,000 for it. I haven't been riding too long, but this bike makes me feel like a kid again. I had to replace the tires and grips almost immediately. The Bontrager Jones (front) and the WTB Nanoraptor (rear) had to go...as with the Bontrager grips. I replaced the tires with a Panaracer Rampage 29 in the rear, Panaracer Fire Cross in the front, and some ODI Rogue lock-on grips. I do plan to mount the Nanoraptor to another rim for hard pack though.
