from Suhr, Swizerland Date Reviewed: May 6, 2007 Strengths: Equalizer rear suspension system - Versatility (uphill and downhill capable) Weaknesses: Original setup with the Juicy 5 brakes (performance and creaking issues if not properly set up). To a lesser degree the looks of the Marzocchi AM2 which is a tad bit thin for the rather bold frame. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $3000.00 Purchased At: ebay (sale 06 model) Similar Products Used: Custom built 04 Specialized Enduro with Marzocchi Z150FR and Hope M4 brakes. Occasionally a rented Kona Stinky. Various XC fullsuspension bikes. Bike Setup: Upgraded to Fox Talas 36R, Formula ORO K24 (200/180mm), XT Crankset. Further mods are planed: switching to Gripshift (in my opinion the ORO do not well interface to the rapidfire shifters). Better fork, maybe a VAN R or a Marzocchi 66 with Eta ...

from Lake District England Date Reviewed: March 16, 2007 Strengths: Great looking bike, lots to tweak at if that's your thing. Surprisingly bombproof, its survived regular winter riding despite all the hard to reach pivots. Great lock out facilities often ride with just the 4" travel for xc. It climbs very well and you can lock it out and stand-up something unheard of on other full sus bikes! Descends like a demon (with its new stubby stem. I am thoroughly impressed, I was trying to avoid buying from the big companies because I wanted something a bit rarer, but having demo'd this I fell in love and have to say I still am... Weaknesses: The biggie is the carbon unfortunately. Please beware if you are running a shimano mech (stock on 06 model) that the standard cable routing will rub a deep groove in the drive side seatstay. This has been a major concern and Scott are in the process of sending me a new rear end under warranty (so 5* customer back up... though I haven't recieved it yet, it's been 4 weeks!). Standard stem is too long, BB too low in 6" setting Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Cunsey Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $3000.00 Purchased At: Grizedale MTBs Similar Products Used: Kona stinky, kona coilair (great bike 06 just a bit weighty) usual suspects Bike Setup: standard apart from specialized low pro mag pedals (flats naturally), maxxis tyres (the stocks are crap), maverick speedball post, mavic rims (destroyed old ones, freak mechanical where the mech snapped off and went into the wheel only harm was to my pocket and it wasn't the bikes fault! And a 50mm Easton stem to keep things freeride
