Description: (from mongoose.com)
Not only the best bang your buck, this freeride bike can take one hell of a beating! Tough aluminum frame with 6.7-7.5” of adjustable rear travel provides you with a bump-eating ride on the descents and an easy pedaling experience back to the top. SRAM SX.5 delivers snappy shifting when the terrain suddenly changes and the solid Sun Ditch Witch

Pros
Frame feels very sturdy, forks hold up well on anything you can chuck at them.
Cons
Rear shock just doesnt feel right for some reason, the xc style headstem and i broke the crankset within 6 months
Review
Overall this is a great bike for the money you pay. It is a good starter for anyone taking up DH, but I just recently bought the Morewood Izimu. After having this, the goosey isnt so good but for a starter its GREAT!
