Pros
Great bike to start with. Basic components but they work well. Great for trail riding. It will handle more. It came with SRAM 3.0 shifters and derailleurs.
 
Cons
The fork is small, only 50 mm travel and very basic but it works well enough.
 
Review
Great bike to start with and then upgrade as you see fit. Frame is set for rear disk brakes.

Pros
All round fun bike. Lots of upgrade potential. A good way to get the foot in the door and work towards building a better bike.
 
Cons
Front fork isn't as beefy as I'd like, but that's only since I started riding more blue type trails. Grip shift can be annoying as you can pop out of gear on technical stuff if your wrist slips.
 
Review
For the money this is a great bike. I've been riding it for two years and not had a single problem (hope I don't jinx myself). I've gone from easy trail stuff through to riding some blue trails with my buddies. My little old Iron Horse always comes through. She takes a beating and keeps coming back for more. I would totally recommend this bike to anyone wanting to start riding trails.

Pros
this is a good starter bike for anyone looking to get into mt. biking without spending breaking the bank.
 
Cons
front shock isn't meant for anything more than light off road riding. although it can handle a good amount of abuse.
 
Review
This is a tough bike, I had mine fall off the car rack while on the highway and after doubling back and finding it (didn't run over thank goodness) all i found was some scratches and a beat up saddle. still rides fine. i recently upgraded the front fork to a rockshox dart 2 which is a nice addition and gives it more manners on the trails also just added new flat handlebars and stem. good frame to build up with after market upgrades. like i said this is a great starter bike for anyone interested in getting into mt. biking without spending a lot of money.
