Pros
Light feel and tight cockpit. This hardtail feels very responsive and is equiped with some good level shimano gear.
Cons
Nothing
Review
As hardtails go at this price point the 6500 is hard to beat. A great all round bike that you can use exclusively on the trails or commute on.

Review
works great for hittin the trails or just a fun ride to the grociery store. good overall midrange bike
Pros
I love love love this bike. Very sturdy, very fast very light. One of the best features is the Manitou suspension, it has great range while your hitting the big stuff but it also has a lock out/compression lever at the top so you can either adjust how much support you need or just cruise the trail or neighborhood completly suspension free. AWESOME!
Review
This bike works for the basic rider or the more hardcore that like to get out there and ride some serious dirt.
