Submitted by leonwhitaker2000 a Cross Country Rider from Pineville, NC

Date Reviewed: October 3, 2009

Strengths:    Rides well, climbs well for a heavy bike, takes downhills incredibly. Super smooth in the rough stuff.

Weaknesses:    weak swingarm...but there is an updated one. a little on the heavy side. Raceface crankset that comes on it sucks. Ground clearance a little too low for me.

Bottom Line:   
I've had two warranty issues and both were handles easily by Rocky. The frame broke at the seat post and they took care of it and were nice enough to give me a bigger frame size as the first one I purchased was too small for me. The swingarm broke and that was handled quickly as well, and they sent an updated stronger version. I suppose you could say that two frame breaks in two years is a problem, but not when the company takes care of it. Plus I consider the first one my fault for buying too small of a frame.

Strengths:    None

Weaknesses:    Everything. Bike never worked from the time I bought it. When Rocky spec'ed this bike they obviously rushed through it. My seat tube broke, yes, literally peeled away, after using it for three years. I submitted a warranty request and they denied it immediatley. They gave no reason and offered to replace the front triangle for 500 USD.

Bottom Line:   
DO NOT BUY A BIKE FROM THIS COMPANY. They are all talk and are selling overpriced garbage to hard working americans. Do not waste your money.

Stumpjumper Evo vs Slayer 50?

Hello, I've narrowed it down to two bikes, the 2011/2012 Slayer 50, or the 2012 Stumpy Evo. My riding is probably around 60% XC, usually pretty gnarly, and 40% downhill. My c   Read More »
