Pros	This bike is great. It's the first one I've really liked since my Gary Fisher Sugar. The rear suspension isn't too active and this bike it light and tough.
Cons	The EA50 stem, handlebar, and seatpost should be at LEAST the EA70 to be on par with the rest of the components. The WTB laserdisc wheelset is nice, but not very sturdy.
Verdict	I highly recommend this bike to the novice XC rider as well as the more experienced one.
	Recommended for: Anyone
