a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: March 16, 2013 Strengths: this bike is awesome. my first foray into the 29er and researched extensively for a deal(cheapskate)finally tracked one down and got the tester floor model for a smoking deal.got 2 bikes for $600.00. The geometry on this bike is perfect, except for on the teeter totter at the finns. Super light and pounds up the mountains. trigger shift set-up works great and not much lag between shifts for those rapid fire changes. love it, my favorite bike. Weaknesses: square taper cranks suck when the bike shop that put the bike together doesn't seat the crank arm(probably why u went under u dopes) brakes lock up a bit easier than i would like but do-able Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: white tanks park,az Duration Product Used: 3 yrs Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: out of bussiness sur Similar Products Used: gt timberline 26er, rockhopper Bike Setup: stock except the soft gel seat and o.g. beartrap bmx pedals

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: October 9, 2012 Strengths: This 29er ROCKS! The geometry is spot on for me. It climbs like a goat. I researched alot before I pulled the trigger on this bike because I like to get the most bang for the buck and found this to be an amazing deal. It has decent components with X5 and I have been riding it hard and it has not had one issue. Great 29er. Weaknesses: The fork is a Dart 3 which did me find for the first hundred miles. I upgraded it to a Rock Shox Recon TK once I was convinced the rest of the bike was worth it....which it really is! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Price Paid:
$750.00

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: May 19, 2012 Strengths: Overall smooth for the price i got it out the door for 525$ It's a nice 29er for the price. If your ego will allow you to ride something that is not as much as a car this bike will pay its self off with fun and quality. I put hydr disk brakes for better braking 2 years after i bought it and also went gangsta tubeless on it. This is a good bike for the price, this Tahoe has proved itself to me. I am taking the next step and am going to build a nice light bike. I will always be grateful for the Tahoe! Weaknesses: brakes after long term use Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: black caynon az Price Paid: $525.00 Purchased At: preformance bike in Similar Products Used: no Bike Setup: Stock with upgraded brakes to avid elixir r

from Harvest, AL Date Reviewed: May 1, 2009 Strengths: Obviously, 29 inch wheels is great for a tall guy like me. Good components, love the Avid BB5 brakes.

from Brownsville, Tx, USA Date Reviewed: October 1, 2008 Strengths: Good bike for the money, strong, takes a beating. Good components for the price. Weaknesses: Problem with clicking noise in crank, couldnt remove cranks from bottom bracket, local bike shop had to beat the cranks off. Looked like some paint got on the square bracket and the cranks were forced on. Buying from internet, couldnt size bike correctly. Could use a better chain.

from So. Pasadena, CA, USA Date Reviewed: July 29, 2008 Strengths: See my first review Weaknesses: CHEAP, WEAK SEAT CLAMP. The screw is VERY EASILY stripped when tightened, which made the 2nd half of my 15-mile ride a real pain in the butt. Went to Performance and bought a seat clamp that's 100% better at $5.00. Why couldn't Fugi just equip this bike with a half-decent seat clamp?!

from Monterey, CA Date Reviewed: July 11, 2008 Strengths: It's an excellent 29'er. The components are all-around good for the price of the bike. Weaknesses: I've had trouble with the Rock Shox Dart 3. The shock had to be replaced twice, due to oil leakage. I'm still trying out the replacement. I hope it works.

from So. Pasadena, CA, USA Date Reviewed: July 6, 2008 Strengths: Sure-footed handling; balanced feel; comfortable cockpit; outstanding descender, singletracker, great on corners, decent fork w/ lock-out, very smooth riding, rolls over rocks like no 26" bike can; Avid mech. disc brakes work very well (good modulation), decent saddle, very good traction on climbs Weaknesses: Weight (med. = 31.8 lbs.?), does not feel particularly "quick," should've been equipped with a SRAM cassette with a 34-tooth cog (32 is largest on cassette) which would make this bike feel more alive/responsive on climbs; shifters are decent (SRAM X-5, as are front and rear derailleurs, I believe), Wellgo platform pedals should be replaced with clipless models -- like another poster said, your shoe can rub against the front tire ... I'm guessing with clipless pedals, you shouldn't experience this. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: the one I'm riding Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $649.00 Purchased At: Performance Bikes Similar Products Used: This is my first 29'er and it's a lot of fun - and different - to ride vs. 26" bikes. Bike Setup: 100% stock.

from Pennsylvania Date Reviewed: April 3, 2008 Strengths: Smooth ride, components are great for a 29er in this price range. geometry works great for single track riding, it accelerates well and maintains high speeds with good control. handles tight corners well dispite wheel size. IT TEARS THROUGH MUD. the color is pretty sweet as well (not that it really affects the bike) Weaknesses: its a bit heavy. the old school straps arent my thing but that isnt a big issue, just get a clipless set put on. it would be nice to have hydraulic discs but the mechanicals are sufficient. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $799.00 Similar Products Used: no 29ers, this is my first, but i would recommend at least trying one, they do make a great fast ride Bike Setup: factory stock other then the pedal upgrade to clipless
