Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$1200.00
Purchased At:
http://www.chainreac
Strengths:
The design of the frame is top notch. All the components are well thought out and high quality. As soon as I got on it, it felt right. My last bike took me ages to get to that point. I bought it flood damaged from chainreaction though I could not find any damage. They are geared up for international, the postage was quick and cheap to Japan.
Weaknesses:
Not found one yet.
Bike Setup:
Changed the Larsen tires for Specialized Hemispheres as I am on tarmac and loose stone mostly. After that the bike feels fast and wants to go.
Bottom Line:
This bike handles like a dream and the steering is precise.
For a full sus it feels light. The suspension is very adjustable to allow for many riding styles. I went out and took some time adjusting it until I got it right for me. It eats bumps. You can ride down flights of stairs still in the saddle. Slap into curbs with your eyes open.
I must say this bike is far too good for me and what I do, but I love it. It was so cheap it feels like a gift.
