from Valencia, CA, U.S. Date Reviewed: January 3, 2011 Strengths: The bike triumphs over all others in its class. It makes rocky river beds a cake walk. The geometry allows for easy climbing up hills. 6 inch suspension gives the rider ownership of the terrain. Weaknesses: The only slight weakness is the weight. But this can easily be solved by switching out the crank for the raceface is a little on the heavy side. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pinos Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1000.00 Purchased At: Newhall Bike Co. Similar Products Used: Jamis Durango 3, Rocky Mtn.

from heath, TX USA Date Reviewed: November 19, 2009 Strengths: This bike is just awesome. Handles great and very comfortable to ride. I am in Texas and bought this bike because I am in between Specialized Med and Large. I had an 07 Stumpy FSR Expert and this bike is more comfortable and can handle it all. I also like the upright position because of comfort and handles better in the air. Very Satisfied! Weaknesses: A little heavy for trails in Texas but you do not notice when you are riding.

from Asker, Akershus, Oslo Date Reviewed: August 14, 2008 Strengths: The best about this bike is the way the LC2R supencion works, zero pedal bob, and i have yet to experiense brake jack. the RP23 shox is excellent. I can throw anything at it and it just resonds with bombing the downhills and the technical climbs. Weaknesses: The links is not as solid as i had hoped for. I have to change the bushings on the shock. but this is something you have to do on every full suss. The fork would have been better if it had high and low speed compression. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Secret Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $5573.00 Purchased At: Raske Sykler, bought Similar Products Used: Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp, Trek 7000, and i have tried the Santa Cruz Nomad 08. Bike Setup: Original, except from th brakes, headset and the wheels. I have now specked it with Juicy seven, Hadley Hubs (Bolt through in the back and 20mm in thefront) with DT supercomp spokes and Mavic 719 rims, and of course chris king headset.

from Roxborough, CO Date Reviewed: July 21, 2008 Strengths: Graduating to a 6" all around is amazing, with little impact to climbing. ProPedal on the RP23 when set right worked wonders on some tiring Front Range climbs. Weaknesses: tad heavy (32 lbs) but look to lighten it up (or stop drinking beer...nah, who am I kidding) in near future. Still a fan of Shimano over SRAM. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Front Range, CO and Vail area Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $3000.00 Purchased At: Singletrack Factory Similar Products Used: (tested only) Yeti 575, RM ETSX, Ellsworth Truth, Bike Setup: swapped out for Smarty Pedals

from Midway UT Date Reviewed: March 25, 2007 Strengths: suspension design is solid, for a 6+" bike it climbs very well, nice slacked feel for descending but w/ adjustable fork you can set HT angle for well for climbing. Weaknesses: component set, FORK!!!!! <- marzo am feels awful on this bike. I'm not a SRAM X.7/9/0 fan so i didn't like the drivetrain or shifters. I wasn't a big fan of the Juicy 5's either. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: tons! Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Bike Setup: stoke
