from FV NC Date Reviewed: June 29, 2011 Strengths: Overall componetry for the price. Weaknesses: Misleading description on product page at bikesdirect. They talk about the Shimano dydnasys and the front middle chainring sprecial design for it. However there is no Shimano middle or chainring or crankset. It is an FSA crankset. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dirt Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1000.00 Purchased At: bikeisland.com Similar Products Used: Gary Fisher Bike Setup: Stock

from Cumming, GA, USA Date Reviewed: May 26, 2011 Strengths: Very well sorted frame and excellent component set for the price. SLX rear derailleur works well and so do the Deore push/pull trigger shifters. Tires setup tubless without much fuss. Comes with hydro brakes and have to say that the frame is very well finished. Weaknesses: For me the crank-set was a disappointment. It was a old style square taper unit. I swapped it out with a new Deore LX with an external BB. The front fork (SR Suntour XCT) is just junk. Once you have ridden a quality air fork there is no going back. (Just remember most forks cost more than this whole bike.) It would be the next thing to replace. Or better yet just buy the next level bike with the better fork. Also the stem had to much rise/drop and the handlebars were too narrow. (These are really personal preference items though.) I developed a squeak in the seat clamp and changed out the post for a better one. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Chicopee Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $700.00 Purchased At: bikesdirect.com Similar Products Used: Trek 4300, couple test rides on some other 29er hard tails. Bike Setup: Stock bike, setup tube-less, LX crank and BB, Wellgo pedals, Easton XC90 seatpost, FSA 90mm stem and Specialized 7074 680mm flat handle bars.

from Fort Wayne, IN, USA Date Reviewed: October 22, 2010 Strengths: Love the Hydrolic Brakes, Grips, and Saddle. I love the extra clearance from it being a 29'er. Weaknesses: Tires are slightly more aggressive than my hybrid. Shifting seems a bit slow but it hasn't been adjusted yet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything Single Track Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Bikes Direct Similar Products Used: Trek 6000, Kona 29er Bike Setup: Everything is stock right now.
