Comments:
Purchased a couple of months ago. This is a sweet ride. Forks work great, super stable yet quick turning. Scary fast on singletrack, and good manners on the roads & bike paths. Only problem is a grenaded casette, but that wasn't Trek's fault(Shimano) and it was fixed under warranty with no hassles. This is a great all around bike, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Comments:
I use this bike for trail riding at the lake. The quality for the price is absolutely amazing. It handles the extreme hills and jumps as well as the casual riding. I also do a small amount of road riding. This bike has it all. Great customer support with my LBS staff also.

I've owned this bike for almost a month. I couldn't be more pleased with it. Good bang for your buck. Awesome handling, quality components and a fantastic sport/mountain ride. It will inspire your confidence to push the envelope. Thanks TREK!

I bought this bike and absolutely love it. I did some research on the "29'ers" and found this one. I put some more road savvy tires on it, and can't get over how much fun this is to ride. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a universal bike that has the ability to do a little of everything.
