Advantages: Good in difficult slopes, accurate handling in most situations Disadvantages: Handling in high speed not most accurate
...Based on my experience, Fischer Alltrax Border-X is a good carver for advanced users. I have used it in standard downhills (not off from the slopes) and it offers good grip from the slope.
The handling in high speed is, however, not the most accurate in the market.
Fischer Alltrax Border-X is pretty durable and it most likely will last for a long time. Mine are >2 years old and they are in good shape.
Hardnes is only average eventhough it contains Fischer Vacuum inner. But, like said, this carver is not meant for high speed.

Advantages: Light, strong, perfect Disadvantages: absolutely nought for my riding style
...Ok, first I should make it clear that although I'm writing an op for the Kona Manomano bike I only actually run the FRAME from the '98 Manomano bike which I picked up while working at my local mountain bike shop a couple of years ago now. The bike had been stripped down for various parts leaving the frame which I snapped up for a fair sum (£450). I now, and have been for the last 2/3 years, running it as a freeride/downhill rig and I have to say, its perfect. As I'm not one for hucking off cliffs and/or houses the 7005 ally structure is quite strong enough and the fox vanilla rear shock provides 3.5" of plush, lovely suspension even when I havent cleaned out the pivot bushings for ages and I've been riding it in British winter weather!? I run it with 5" Stratos FR4 dual-crown forks and various other dh gubbins such as MRP chain...

Advantages: Good value for money Disadvantages: soft rims
...The 99 Giant ATX 840 is a pretty good bike for the money. It comes with a Alivio/ STX-RC component mix, and a Rockshox Jett T2 elastomer fork, which I have upgraded to Marzocchi Bomber Z5 fork, which performs well, despite the slow rebound. I have noticed no problems except for the rear rim I bent hitting a curb at high speed. This bike has a stiff, light, 6061-T6 alloy frame. I have found that upgrading to a riser bar makes riding this bike noticibly more comfortable. Overall, this is a good bike for someone who is entering the world of mountain biking....
