"Anyone looking for a Clydesdale of bikes will love this one. It is great at top speed, 32mpd downhill, very maneuverable, and tough. I originally bought this bike cause I could weld it back together if I needed to. Best decision I ever made, not sure I could live from the wreck that would need welding back. This is the Sherman tank of bikes, so naturally it is heavy, just like me. "DragonBear
Ease of use
easy to shift. Its a bike, not hard to use.
Quality of Construction
super strong and durable.
Fit
Stem could be a bit longer to provide a larger range of fit, but overall good geometry. Good aggressive position for technical single track or downhill. The longer stem would be handy for long flat spins.
Comfort
Overall great. I should have gotten one size larger frame, but it took a couple of seasons to learn that. Great geometry for any conditions. Very adjustable. Absorbs rear shock like a full suspension, without all the flex on the flats.
Adjustability
Again stem could be a bit longer, otherwise excellent. Also the bottom bracket could be replaceable instead of pressed.
Durability
Strongest bike made. I am the proverbial bull in a china closet. Nothing is made to take the punishment I give. I have dropped it off a 15ft cliff and barely scratched the bike. Bent the derailleur by 1/8", very easy fix. Road very technical 12 miles after that with no problems. This is the Sherman Tank of bikes.
Value
great bang for buck. Excellent entry level bike. A hardcore mountain biker would rather have the Aggressor 1.0. Best hard tail on the market.
Appearance
sleek, and stylish, cool color scheme.
Customer Service
never used customer service.
Performance
great bike, toughest I have ever owned. Used on a multitude of conditions, and had fun every time. Don't plan on breaking the speed limit, it is heavy, but awesome. Good in maneuverability.
Strengths
super strong, durable, smooth shifting, adjustable, maneuverable.
Weakness
stem could be longer to provide a better setup for flat long spins, bottom bracket could be replaceable.
Ease of installation
easy to assemble and maintain.
