Advantages: Good frame, Fast climber, Well specced. Good to upgrade over time. Disadvantages: Tyres wear out quickly, Can't fit big tyres.
I bought my Reflex 20 about 6 months ago. From the off she was upgraded so I can only give you the low down on what I rode.
Upgrades are tyres, pedals, stem, forks and brakes.
I ride a bit of all terrains. Commuting to work along a 6 mile route that rakes in a bit of road, steep hills and some smooth single track, worth the slight detour, so it gave me a good indication of where the bikes strengths and weaknesses were.
Strengths:
The frame is ... ...hardtail riding as smooth as a FS, but she handles fast downhill sections very well and takes all the abuse I have thrown at it in it's stride and climbing is great with the frame putting everything in the right place. I upgraded my forks and brakes so I cannot comment on them but it seems well specced for the price. The wheels are also up to the tasks as I have hit a few rocks and ramps and they still track as true as they did from new.
The gears ...
