Pros:
07 Iron Horse Warrior 2.3
Good bike for the money, only $599.99 new.
Cons:
The dealer sucks. You can only get Iron Horse bikes though SportChek in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and their service is terrible. A brand new bike and I had to go though the entire bake and do a complete tune-up myself. The cables were run in the frame wrong. Plastic protective shipping parts were not removed. The shifters and brakes needed to be adjusted. The wheels were not on properly, to loose and had to tighten. SportChek was a joke and I won't be going there again.

Descent bikes, but I will spend my money elsewhere next time. The bike is my daughters and works well for her. It's just to bad the are sold through a crappy sporting good store instead of a real bike shop.
The low score has to do more with the seller than the bike. Good bike for the price, just very crappy service and sales lower the score.

Pros:
Decent bike for the money
Cons:
n/a. The seller on ebay was an ass and falsely advertised about it being a 2006 model when in fact it was a 2004. He also shipped it 2 weeks late and did not mention anything wrong with the hanger.

I bought this bike used. The hanger for the rear derailer was bent, cost 20 dollars to fix. No quick release for the seat, but that's okay. Hayes 6" disks front and rear. Probably needs a good tune up. It sometimes jumps out of gears when pedaling hard. Overall, enjoying it.

Pros:
it's pretty cheap i guess
Cons:
well for starters it makes a lot of funny noises, it wont shift into 3rd gear, and it jumps out of 8th. I've taken it in twice because the first time the hub was bent, and the second time because everything else. It still isnt fixed.

Pros:
Bang for your buck, it is an awsome deal for $500 bucks canandian. With SRAM components, Manitou Forks, 6" disks Have not seen any bike that you can get good components and disk brakes for such a good price.
Cons:
Not many. Can only fit 2.3" tires in the frame and betwee the forks, and I am getting the forks replaced / fixed under warrentee, as with the fatter tires, the front fork was not completely true, so the brakes are rubbing and the front tire will rub on the fork support.

Pros:
The bikes aluminum lightweight frame is a definate pro. The front and rear disc brakes give the bike good stopping power. The rapid fire shifters make shifting a breeze and the Manitou Six front suspension does and excellent job eating up bumps and transitions.
Cons:
This platform does not really have any cons considering all of the components u get for the price of the bike. ($499.99 canadian) The only con is that iron horse has not come out with a dual suspension platform for this bike.
