Strengths: -After getting the proper travel fork (I really don't like White Bros) the bike reminds me of a over-sized Kona Stinky. It will blast through any trail and the short chain stays make this bike pedal worthy for uphill climbing. I have a Hammerschmidt on the crank so it's a pretty versatile bike.
-I took a 4 footer on it recently and it reminds me of my large cat when he jumps off the washing machine--its like nothing.
That will be the tallest thing I will come off of because I know if I do higher ones I will like it and end up killing myself.
-The welds are heavy duty and the bike, for its 7" travel is pretty light compared to its 26" brothers.Weaknesses: -Had to put spacers on the mounts for the Hammerschmidt, it hits the rear swing arm.
-Its expensive.Bottom Line: If you are a 29er junkie, then you have to get one of these. Sure it will rob you of all your money if you buy it new
as a frame like I did. But if you see one used for sale, you may save some money.
This guy will make all 26 bikes that you
have ridden seem like a 24" bike and will also blow the cheap Avid BB7 equipped XC 29er riders away as well
on the downhills.
It just wants to do more than you're used to.
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$5000.00
Similar Products Used: There are no 7" travel 29ers to compare this with.

Strengths: Fast, stiff, Great pedaler, lots of travel and a 29er.Weaknesses: Tires so far but thats not Lenz's faultBottom Line: Its a great fun DH bike. Fells right when you get on it. Nothing to fight. No sky scrapper high feeling since the BB is pretty low.
Very fast and jumps real well. Just really need to get the tires sorted out and it will be much better. Rides great on the trails and DH runs.
A total winner of a bike. Thx to Devin for stepping up and building a DH 29er.
