from San Diego Date Reviewed: July 19, 2010 Strengths: Stiff solid craftmanship, my 05 FOES. THe Curnutt XTD bar none is the best PERIOD. thenewer moncoque forming is a weight saver. Great warranty and tach support. Climbing and dohnhilling on equal par in perfomrnace for a suspension without a gimick (pro pedal/ lockout throwlever) Weaknesses: Could save a weight weenie gram by anodizing the frame, Top tube sizing is fickle to long legged types dependant on bar length. greater marketing exposure to bring the price down a bit for a new one Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Big Bear N23 Backside Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $1100.00 Purchased At: E-bay (frame only) Similar Products Used: FOES 05 FXR, Intense Spyder VPX, Ibis Mojo, ELlsworth Moment.

from Aliso Viejo, CA Date Reviewed: November 2, 2009 Strengths: The bike climbs so, so good. The slow speed platform is really rigid when climbing, almost zero movement. Coming from a RP23, the difference is night and day between the "pro pedal" setting to the curnutt which is far superior. When you do start pointing it downhill, the suspension starts soaking up everything. 6.5" goes a long way to increasing your confidence. Who would've thought that a bike that can climb so well can descend even better. Weaknesses: My build is probably 3lbs heavier than light cross country/AM setups. I have Azonic Outlaws and middle of the road components, so nothing really feathery. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: TNA Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1750.00 Purchased At: The Path Similar Products Used: Specialized Stumpjumper FSR, Santa Cruz Blur Bike Setup: I have an 09 FXR with a steel 300lb curnutt shock, 6'3 and 215 puts me in the range for a 350lb spring but setting the sag at 1" only required 3 turns on the 300lb spring. Fox 32 vanilla, SRAM x7/9. Azonic Outlaws and most importantly a gravity dropper 4" seatpost.

from Lithia, FL USA Date Reviewed: March 26, 2009 Strengths: No lies, the Air Curnutt is a dream! Pound the cranks and she feels like a hard tail. The weight is no issue because of how efficient this bike is. I climb everything with this bike that I did on my light weight cross country bike. It does help having adjustable travel on your fork for those extended or severe climbs. Weaknesses: Not too many, she is dream. I could say that on the downhill It took some time to get used to the wheels not wanting to stay connected under breaking. Make some adjustments and all is good.

The bike looks fantastic and rides very easily. I have no problem getting the front up for jumps etc. Weaknesses: It's quite expensive, the rear shock does seem to have a little stiction, but I think it's wearing in still.
