| Pros | Rock solid frame. Decent component package out of the box. | | Cons | A little heavy for a hardtail. I have a Motobecane that cost less, has better component package and weighs 4 or 5 pounds less. | | Verdict | Great all round bike. Pounded it pretty hard on several trails in Boulder. No complaints except for front fork bottoming out too much. Absolutely recommend this bike for trail ready entry level bike. |
| Pros | It looks cool, and is very aggressive. It took a while to get used to the cockpit, but after mastering it, I find this to be a great bike. | | Cons | Handlebars were heavy and too thick for standard GPS and light attachments. | | Verdict | This is a great starter bike. I've upgraded mine many times over. | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
