from Auckland, New Zealand Date Reviewed: June 4, 2008 Strengths: Super bike for my kind of biking. Hardly any vibrations make it a good bike for hours of fun. Great sitting position and very responsive. Love to be able to lock the back. Weaknesses: Original tires are heavy and do not like muddy tracks or soft sand. Seat started making serious cracking noises and needed to be closed very tight. Disk breaks are not the best and need constant adjusting. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rotorua MB Park Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $2400.00 Purchased At: Pedal Pushers, Palme Similar Products Used: Porsche Bike FS with Cain Creek setup and Shimano components. Expensive, heavy and not as responsive as the MC30. Not a very good ride either. Bike Setup: Factory

from UK Date Reviewed: February 25, 2008 Strengths: Great suspension set up particularly ability to adjust travel and lockout while riding. Good geometry for long distance riding no back aches or knee aches! bounce while pedaling is negligable and absorbes the bumps really well. Weaknesses: suspension bush at bottom bracket comes undone very easily. Jockey wheels on derailleur are very prone to corrosion I have to dismantle and clean it after every ride when its muddy or they seize solid. Standard tyres are rubbish for muddy work as they float on the top of mud, get clogged easily and as a result provide little grip. For a Carbon frame I think its heavy. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: South downs way Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $3100.00 Purchased At: hargreaves bikes Similar Products Used: Univega flight 850 Bike Setup: standard build but well worth spending some time getting it set up correctly on this bike it makes a lot of differnce to the ride.

from Manchester, Manchester, England Date Reviewed: February 19, 2008 Strengths: It's lighter than many comparable bikes with 130-125mm travel, bounces like Tigger on steroids, stops well, wouldn't be without the remote shock lockout, good component selection overall with quality where it counts. It's even fairly easy to set up the bike components too. Short(ish) wheelbase makes it quick steering for XC riding. It's an awesome bike!! Weaknesses: None that I have encountered. No seat post slip, no creaks or groans. Absolutely no dramas. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Loop de loops Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $3000.00 Similar Products Used: Specialized, Trek Bike Setup: Absolutely stock. The only thing I would consider upgrading would be the wheels to something a little lighter.
