    Submitted by Buda bomber a Downhiller from Bay area
    Date Reviewed: December 14, 1999
    Favorite Trail:
    Dream-ride (my secret)
    Duration Product Used:
    3 months
    Strengths:
    Everything--PPLLUUSSHH
    I still outclimb my hardtail friends
    Weaknesses:
    $$$$ and availability
    (not everyone can handle this much fun)
    Similar Products Used:
    Str.-6 , s.c. Bullit
    FSR (Crap)
    Bike Setup:
    DARE w/ Tripple chainring, Fox TC, and Z-1 Bam
    Bottom Line:If you can afford one, BUY IT!!! There is nothing(But $$$) that I would change about this bike. It climbs Soooo well... almost as good as my hardtail (Dare's better on technical rocky ascents!!!) I'd give it 10 flaming turds if I could, but 5 will have to do.

    Submitted by John Lanbert a Downhiller from Ottawa
    Date Reviewed: October 5, 1999
    Favorite Trail:
    Skyline DH
    Duration Product Used:
    tested or demo'ed only
    Strengths:
    Everything, light, strong, plush
    Weaknesses:
    NONE!
    Similar Products Used:
    FSR, C-dale, Intense
    Bike Setup:
    Raceface triple chainring, manitou triple clamp fork, XTR, 2.3 inch tires
    Bottom Line:There is no better FS bike, this climbs incredibly well for a 28 pounder, and does downhill like a DHO bike. Expensive as shit, but start saving your pennies cause it is worth every one of 'em.
