from Adelaide, Australia Date Reviewed: May 8, 2009 Strengths: The frame is one solid unit. Nice looking (aka SC Heckler) single pivot easy to maintain. This frame can do way more than i'm able to do and its one frame that can do it all. Dessigned here in adelaide so its an Australian bike. Weaknesses: The paint flakes off from stone chips and around tightened bolts but its not going to the show and shine thats for sure, and not what mtb'ing is about so its not an issue. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Fox Creek, Bennets, Sneak in some Anstey's hill Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1600.00 Purchased At: bicycle express Similar Products Used: specialised enduro, Haro 8.3 escape hardtail. Bike Setup: I brought the frame and fork only as i didnt really want avid and sram stuff. I did demo the full spec bike and the only stuff i really wanted was the suspension so I saved some cash and stripped the Haro XT gears and shifters with middleburn oilers, Rock Shox revalation and monarch 3.3 suspension, FSA stem and headset, Azonic b-52 bars, hayes nine brakes with goodridge braided lines, WTB speed disc wheels (for now anyway), Kenda 2.35 blue groove up front and a Maxxis ignitor out back.

from Adelaide Date Reviewed: September 14, 2008 Strengths: Bike strength and relative weight. Feels like a real sturdy rig yet still very responsive and nimble. Solid through long sweeping fast turns and nimble enough to flick the back around on the tighter more techy turns. Great climber also. Can ride all day with static seat position (on previous bikes I have been known to adjust seat height during some sections of the trail) Weaknesses: Group set. Having been a Shimano purist all my riding career I seem to be experiencing some separation anxiety from what I know (have run XT/XTR in the past). I feel however that this is phase and I will come around. While this is not a major criticism of the bike in general, SRAM is different kit and as such, required a bit of re-ned-ucation in order to get gear changes smooth and also braking firmness right in the levers. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Bennet's Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $3800.00 Purchased At: Adelaide bike store Similar Products Used: Cannondale Profit. However. FRX feels more tough and is certainly more reasonably priced. Bike Setup: Geometry is sweet. Nice and relaxed when cruising, very comfortable to climb and travels well through the air (not that I am known for wicked air time but it seems to be very well balanced when both tires are off the dirt)

from Adelaide, South Australia Date Reviewed: February 11, 2008 Strengths: Lovely plush ride with a strong and solid feel on the trail. Feels bigger than it is, which is good for me (6'3" - 220lbs). Locks up for the roads to and from trails and this helps when struggling home after an epic. Weaknesses: None so far, but I have put a 2.4" Kenda up front to help in the rocky trails and this has made a magic ride better. The longer top tube may feel large for shorter riders, so size carefully - only medium and large frames so far - however the Large is perfect for my 6'3" - and with seat dropped and slid forward, my 12yo loves it as well - so the yare pretty versatile. Stock Maxxis tyres are 2.1 and race oriented rather than epic. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Yarrabilla Trail - Adelaide Hilla Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $3800.00 Purchased At: Bicycle Express Similar Products Used: Jamis XLT2, Cannondale Prophet, M1000 and Super V. Bike Setup: Stock with 2.4" Kenda up front. SRAM X-9 throughout and Mavic wheels are tough and light.

from australia Date Reviewed: January 31, 2008 Strengths: Really balenced handling, stiff out of the saddle though the bb area so sprints wickedly. Perfect trail bike - decends awesomely, climbs like an xc bike The CNC work is a piece of art - super clean - havent seen anything like this! Not one thing i would change with the spec except saddle. Weaknesses: The saddle is super comfy but a little to wide to get back behind when it is steep. Needs to come with a chain stay protector. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $3000.00 Similar Products Used: Giant VT1, Cannondale Prophet 2000, Intense Spider EVP. Bike Setup: Stock except Fizik Gobi saddle and Shimano DX pedals
