from Lafayette, CA, USADate Reviewed: January 23, 2012
Strengths: Efficient 29er like traits. Stiff.Weaknesses: Bottom Bracket was low...I tagged more rocks and terrain in one loop than I had on other bikes in years of riding.
Rental spec shock bottomed out constantly.
Heavy! Wheels were like boat anchors.
Had to really get the body English going t o get this to roll the switchbacks at any respectable pace.Bottom Line: In all fairness, I rented the bike to play in Makara as opposed to bringing my carbon rocket across the pacific....so peripherals weren't the best as it was spec'd to take the abuse of the rental crowd.
Next time I would probably ship my bike(s) and avoid rolling on this rig again.
As a beater bike/rental..totally fine, if you were gogin to bank miles on it....upgrade the components for sure.
Favorite Trail: Makara Peak while in Wellington, NZ
Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only
Price Paid:
$2400.00
Purchased At: Mud Cycles in Karori
