steering control & tracking accuracy
Easton EA30 cockpit parts feature Easton's proprietary aluminum taper wall technology, a cold working process that produces multiple tapers to eliminate stress points & dissipate impact energy evenly
Shimano 27-speed drivetrain features Deore RapidFire Plus SL shifters, Deore LX rear derailleur and Deore crankset
Hayes Sole hydraulic disc brakes offer more power, better feel, require less maintenance, and are often lighter than cable-actuated disc brakes
The spoke bed eyelets featured on the WTB Speed Disc double wall rims are critical for rim longevity & durability. Disc brake torque will twist the hub, increasing the load on the nipples in the spoke bed. The addition of eyelet inserts in the rim prevents nipples from tearing through the spoke bed
WTB Speed V Sport saddle offers an extra wide platform to support riders of all shapes, with extra long rails to promote a better fit

Pros
I have a brand new 2009 model.This bike is one sweet ride.It's light,and quick.The brakes are perfect.They stop you fast and don't lock up easy either.The gears are incredibly smooth.The tires are good too.They have a low rolling resistance for the road and still are good for dirt.Not too mention the hubs and crankshaft are invisible gems on this bike that round this bike out and make it one perfect bike.Love it.
Cons
The only thing I didn't like was the clip less pedals.Though I was able to trade them with the bike shop for excellent aggressive but safe pedals.
Review
I highly recommend this bike to anyone looking for an excellent hardtail bike with awesome components.

Pros
I really like the spec out on this bike. I own a 2008 Model and got a great deal on it at JensonUSA for 699 including the bike build.
The Frame is light and stiff.
