Bike Setup: 3rd ring gone, replace with red alunimum race face bash, 2nd ring chaged from 32 to 36, and a blackspire stinger stops chain drop. stinger is iscg type and bots were sanded flush to clear granny bolts. roller eds up too far to cyclist right so i bent it 2mm or so towards cyclist left. pedals are shimanow m-324 duals spd bear trap. but sumbaum gave me good downhill pedals with the bike.

from il Date Reviewed: November 6, 2011 Strengths: the faster you go down hill the better it shreds.i can do trails, hills, climbs descends including ski lift down hill and also it jumps. tho no sold as jump bike my style of trail riding likes jumps along the way.suspension is a magic carpet ride!!sturdy solid quality stuff!! Weaknesses: 28 7/8 wide handle bars. but befor i cut them i moved the brake levers and shifters in and steer with hands more in to see how it handles. most likely wont cut mor than an inch off each side. also be careful cutting seat stem. once optimum hieght is achieved you cant cut it to drop al the way down for jumpin cus not enough min insertion for high position.not true weaknesses at all.

from Australia Date Reviewed: April 25, 2011 Strengths: Light, confidence inspiring, looks great, fox suspension all-round, solid. Weaknesses: some would say the spec but i have not had any problems once i got used to SRAM shifting.. the forks have the same internals as the Talas but without the adjustability (which you don't need if you know how to not bounce when going pedalling) and I can't see why you would need more than 2 pro pedal settings. so, i would say no weaknesses! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: south-east queensland area Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $3150.00 Purchased At: palm beach supercycl Similar Products Used: Norco Ryde, Giant XTC advanced, Giant reign 0, specialized enduro comp Bike Setup: Funn Fatboy 710mm bars, bontrager 80mm stem, X7 shifters, X7 FD, X9 RD, Elixir 3 brakes, S1000 cranks, Bontrager duster rims. Waiting to be installed are X0 2x10 cranks, X0 brakes, X9 shifters and X9 FD.. once this is done it should drop about 400g out of the bike which will be great considering i am yet to find a hill that i can't make it up.. a couple more sensible upgrades and a new wheelset and i wont be far off the weight of a stock 9.9 (admitadly the 9.9 has the weight disadvantage of an adjustable seat post).

from st. augustine, FL. usa Date Reviewed: April 17, 2011 Strengths: The strength with this bike is it's EXACTLY what I've been looking for! This 6" travel rig flies! I can't believe how fast this bike goes on the flats, how maneuverable and agile it is. I'm 6'4" riding the L size and it's a perfect fit for flicking and tossing. Tough frame means I don't worry about big hits, fairly light so it zips, great angles so it's easy to move over. My first Rock Shox and I like the fork a lot! Weaknesses: Well if you're talking about stock stuff then...I got rid of the SRAM components---doesn't feel good to me. I did more of a custom build. Other than that none so far---this bike makes me feel like a little kid with a new toy! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anywhere fast and technical Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1500.00 Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: Just sold the Specialized Enduro Pro SL, Jamis XLT 2.0, other F/S frames and hardtails prior Bike Setup: Rock Shox Lyrik Air, Fox RP2. XT-XTR drivetrain, Race Face crankset, cool Sunline stem, Bontrager wheelset, XT brakes, FSA carbon post, Race Face bars

from Salt Lake City Date Reviewed: October 15, 2010 Strengths: Great climber and very solid cross country bike Weaknesses: The new 2011 headtube angles have killed this previously solid decender. Chain slap was unbearable unless always in the big ring, which was surprising because the chainstay was covered with a very cool rubber guard. Regardless, it didn't work. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Porcupine Rim Trail Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Similar Products Used: Santa Cruz Blur LT, Rocky Mountain Altitude Bike Setup: Stock Remedy 7 specs.

from Bridgwater, UK Date Reviewed: August 18, 2009 Strengths: Excellent climber although you do have to wind the lyric fork down on longer steeper climbs otherwise the front tends to lift and wander. RP2 shock is excellent. Bike just seems to eat bumps. Fast decender and handles jumps and drops well. Bike feels light and agile despite on pedaly sections of singletrack despite the ammount of travel. Mine came with Kenda Nevegals, the dual compound Tomac signature edition one. Excellent grip on rocks and roots and inspire loads of confidence but they do drag on hard pack. Weaknesses: This is a noisy frame due to the large tubes. Cables and chain slap do make a lot of noise on rough decents. Would aggree that if you are using as a "push it up hoon it down" machine then consider a chain guide of some sort. Not a fan of the Shimano SLX groupset/ SLX Shaddow rear mech. Pain to set up well and as soon as it gets muck in it it stops functioning well. I switched to SRAM after about 3 weeks. Bonty finishing kit looks ok and is functional but will upgrade bars, stem etc in the future. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Wall, South Wales, Scotland trails Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $2900.00 Purchased At: The Bicycle Chain Similar Products Used: Mongoose Teocali Super, Cannondale Jekyll. The trek makes my others feel like a hardtail on the decents. Bike Setup: Fox RP2, Rock Shox Lyric U-Turn, Avid Juicy 5's, SRAM X9. Kenda Nevegals front and rear or Conti mountain king on front and maxis ignitor on rear depending on condition.
