Strengths: smooth, very smooth. the riding position is easy on the body and the shop cut the seat post to give the suspension mor headroom. the $260 could not be beat. brand new ot of the box assembled that day on clearence. perfect.Weaknesses: take off is not as responsive due to the full suspension. mine is bronze metallic. i wish i had the silver one. i'll hit back after the newly planned bike trips i have if this thing gives me probsBottom Line: if cadillac would make a bike this would be it. smooth. it rides smooth. the full suspenion is adicting. it not a fast bike, the suspension absorbs a lot of the take off pedal power. but when yor moving wich will be 90% of the time you can absorb the ambience of the ride. i wanted a marin muirwoods but it was $400 out of my price range. so for the $260 i paid i am getting a yakima loco joe bike rack $75 front halogen light and rear red beacon tail light together for $36 and a crossbar attachment for the ds to sit firmly in the bike rack $30. so with all the safety and logistics stuff i ended up spending a little over $410. with the marin id be about 580 in the hole. the giant was on clearance all the silver ones were gone so i got bronze dirt looking one. im not too excitred about the color but the ride is to dream for.

Strengths: Full Suspension.
Comfortable upright seating position.Weaknesses: None that I've found yet.Bottom Line: I love this bike! I've ridden mountain bikes for years and since I'm in my 40's now and I wanted some comfort, it was time to upgrade. I was looking at a Trek Y26 full suspension. I gave the Sedona DS a try on a day when my back was out (something I couldn't do with my existing Trek) and I didn't feel a thing. Upright position and shorter reach for the handlebar made a huge difference. I was little hesitant at first based on my original impression of Giant from the 80's when they were just cheap imports but I made the leap. I couldn't be happier I did. I just do some recreational street and bike trail riding so a lower end full suspension like this is perfect. Talk about a smooth ride! My wife took it out for a quick ride around the block to see what it was like. An hour later, she return saying she needs to get one, too.

Strengths: Everything.Weaknesses: I would have to say the shifter. But that is only my personal opinion.Bottom Line: I love this bike!!!!!!!! Rides like a dream. Handle bumps really well. Although I don't really like the shifter. It maybe a comfortable shifter, but when I have to peddle hard, I find myself shifting gears when I don't want to shift. If you plan on getting one of these, be prepared to be stopped and asked questions. It's a real conversation starter. ;-)
