Pros
I own the 09 model which features a front shock with 4 inches of travel. Everything feels smooth and the bike shifts nicely. The seat is comfy and rides nicely overall.
 
Cons
Haven't spent much time on trail with it yet so and I haven't found any issues with the bike on roads, so it no cons yet.
 
Review
I am a beginner and this is the first non wal-mart bike I have owned, huge step up from those types of bikes and well worth the price, I paid 410 for the 09 model and would recommend this bike to other looking to get into the sport or those who just want to dump their wal-mart bikes for one that is actually fun to ride.

Pros
Good frame. Decent tires. Shimano shifters. Good stand over height. Good weight.
 
Cons
Only 2 inches of travel with limited adjustment starter fork. Shimano cassette with little range. Chain comes off often.
 
Review
This was my first mountain bike when I started so I am a little biased. It got me through my first year of riding and I tackled some hard trails and had some good times with this hard tail starter bike. It full filled it's purpose and got me addicted to mountain biking before I upgraded to a full suspension, more expensive bike so I guess for the price range, mission accomplished. I still have it and use it for casual greenway rides and tooling around.

My first mountain bike purchase, and I do not have any complaints. I have ridden some hard single tracks in Georgia, and it has held up to everything. I definitely recommend

Pros
Geometry, fork, seat
 
Cons
somewhat heavy, not to bad
 
Review
Good for beginners, and those who don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I ride single track, intermediate to advanced trails, this bike can handle everything I put it through. I paid $300 for this. Well worth it.
