Strengths:
No pedal bob, don't think I've bottomed the rear out ever, good looking
Weaknesses:
The standard parts, I've customized my six
Bike Setup:
Marzocchi Bomber All Mountain II, Mavic 729 Rims, Magura Julie Brakes (203mm front, 180 rear) Red 2.5 Michelin Tyres, Trigon Carbon Fibre Riser Bar
Bottom Line:
Basically this is a really good bike - if you customize it yourself because you will be disapointed if you try and use it as it comes. I got it the Six Two as a frame set and customized it and NO problems so far!

Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:

Purchased At:
Discover Bicycles
Strengths:
Price for all mountain ability.
Weaknesses:
Heavier than more expensive all mountain 6" bikes
Similar Products Used:
Rocky Mountain Switch
Bike Setup:
Stock, except wider bars and Kenda Nevegal Tires - 2.5 on front and 2.35 on back.
Bottom Line:
I broke my back riding stunts last year and have toned down my riding by pedaling more and shuttling less. I still downhill a bit and ride small stunts so I didnt want to go any less than six inches. Mine weighs in at 37 pounds as compared to a reign or a nomad at 32. I have been changing out the pedals (spd's - flats) depending on what Im riding which is working out great for me. Besides the weight, Im very happy with how this bike climbs; no bob. The Marzochi all mtn fork and fox air shock work well at soaking up the downhill. Ive ridden the crap out of this bike over the last 10 weeks including a lot of shuttling through rocky trails and had no issues. Overall I highly recommend it.
