Velosopher Date Reviewed: April 29, 2012 Strengths: -Price to Awesomeness ratio. -Workhorse spec: nothing so fancy that I feel like coddling the thing (XX and XTR make me queasy) -Responsive and fast. -Nice mechanical brakes rather than crappy hydraulics -Sealed bearing hubs that roll like greased butta Weaknesses: None really, it's not especially light but neither am I. The brakes could be nicer, and the wheels could be lighter, but the bike could also cost more. Bottom Line:

from KS Date Reviewed: November 7, 2010 Strengths: It's lightweight, has a very comfortable/rideable geometery. It climbs well. I've been in near-wreck situations that this bike just seemed to pull out of - somehow. I guess that's I'm trying to say that I've pushed this bike quite hard, and it's taken it quite well, and has made me a better rider. Weaknesses: It really has no "weaknesses" per se. I ride rigid, and since moving to a longer carbon fork, it's not as snappy. I will likely change my stem and change to risers. I'd like to find a shorter carbon fork as well. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: 'most any trail Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $85.00 Purchased At: Frame only from Priv Similar Products Used: None - first 29er build. But not my only 29er (anymore). I use X-7/X-9/X-0 on lots of other bikes, and it works as well on this bike as it does on this one. I use BB7 on my other 29er as well: they're the best brakes for the money IMO. Bike Setup: 2x9, SRAM PG-990 11-34 Cassette, X-7 f/r der, X-0 gripshift f/r, Avid BB7 f/r, RF Evolve XC (175mm), Shimano SPD, (CHEAP!) WTB Laser Disc Wheelset on Fuji hubs, Specialized Fast Trak (running front "ghetto" tubeless w/ Gorilla Glue duct tape and Slime), Bontrager Race flat bar, Origin 8 Black Ops Carbon fork, Specialized seat.....

from Deephaven, MN, USA Date Reviewed: August 18, 2010 Strengths: This aluminum frame is light and strong with efficient geometry in my opinion. Weaknesses: This is my first 29er frame so I don't have a point of comparison. However, I must point out that the paint scratches quite easily. This might affect its resell value but I am not concern about that because I am keeping it.
