ProsGreat components for the $$. Small company on line or phone orders only. Awesome general purpose bike. Perfect starter bike. Front fork has adjustable tension for differing road/off-road conditions.
ConsTires are good but the tubes are cheap they will need replacing soon if you are a heavy rider by spares and keep them with you untill then. I ordered my bike in the off season in between models (late fall) and the wait seemed like forever. I got my bike in FEB but the wait was worth it. Disk brakes will need fine tuning to keep from rubbing.
VerdictAs a starter bike I believe there is no better bike @ $549 to compare. The compnents are solid and to take it to the next level to compete with the big boys still be cheaper than spending big boy prices. Bottom line is that you don't have to spend big money to have big fun!
