a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: September 9, 2012 Strengths: Feel solid, gears shift smoothly, really like the 29'er tiires. It really seems to climb well. Weaknesses: I changed out the seat, and put on better pedals. The front shock adjustments are clunky, except for the lockout. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Price Paid:

from Beverly, Ma. USA Date Reviewed: May 19, 2011 Strengths: Seems to have good quality Components compared to last 29er. This also seems to roll better and I just like the overall feel of this bike. I tried this bike to compare it to my specialized Rockhopper Comp 29er Disc. and it came up a winner. I personally like the shocks, stering and Brakes better. I'm 5'11" and about 215lbs and ride as much as possible in dry weather (50 to 150 miles a week) I have a 26" mountain Bike and a 700C touring bike. All Bikes use the same shifters and have Disc brakes, but the alpine will be the mainstay for a while I love it. Weaknesses: I would love to see a chain guard since it will be seeing allot of street use. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Country Roads Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $795.00 Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: specialized Rockhopper comp 29er/ Specialized Hard Rock 29er / Tested a Felt 29er but couldn't see spending the price difference. Bike Setup: Added a new stem with riser adjustment. Changed the peddals to Well-go the rest is stock.

from Central, PA, USA Date Reviewed: November 5, 2010 Strengths: Paint job. Weaknesses: Frame (on the 2008 & 2009 versions). The components are low end, but I don't view that as a weekness. It was not an expensive bike, the components are what you should expect from a lower end bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: ING DIRECT Web Store Similar Products Used: Specialized Stumpjumper Comp 29. Bike Setup: Non stock. There isn't a part on the bike that is stock. All has been completely upgraded.
