from Richmond, CA, USA Date Reviewed: January 11, 2011 Strengths: I've been riding a 1999 Klein Adroit and I thought it was pretty good; however, my new One Forty 5 is light years better! The RST Deuce 140mm forks, X-Fusion 02 RLZ, and the RZ One Forty frame are the strength of this product. I was able to get this at a very nice price...last year's closeout model and it's brand new! The bike inspired me to ride with confidence. There were several places where I'd dismount my old Klein and walk; however, I was able to ride down the very technical sections. The 140mm travel makes a world of difference. Weaknesses: This bike is the entry level bike. I don't know if my shock, fork, or frame is weak. The only benchmark I can compare it to is my hardtail Klein and as I mentioned before, the One Forty 5 blows the Klein away. If I have to find a weakness, I would say the shifting. I had a shimano deore XT drive train on the Klein and it had dead on shifting and the Klein was very light..maybe 22 lbs compared to the One Forty 5 at 33 lbs. I have an SRAM X-7 derailleur and it doesn't have the "crisp" feel of a shimano XT. I found myself in between gears or over shifting. I took it back to the bike shop and they adjusted the rear derailleur, hopefully it works better. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rockville, Fairfield, CA Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1200.00 Purchased At: The Peddler Similar Products Used: As I mentioned, this is my first full suspension bike and I appreciate the how it gave me confidence to tackle the technical sections...I still walk some sections, but I walk less now. Bike Setup: My bike is stock as a rock except I swapped out the Cannondale Grind pedals for a pair of Shimano M545.
