Strengths:    it has a really strong frame and it is also very light. for a one peice it is really strong and i have not had any problems with it and i do not go easy on my bike

Weaknesses:    the handlebars suck i broke them bunny hoping snap part of it off, and the rims are worthless.

Bottom Line:

Date Reviewed: January 21, 2001

Strengths:    Strong frame, fairly good 2 pce, excelent forks, fairly descent headset and a good enough ride, good enough lookin

Weaknesses:    horrible rims, tyres, brakes, disc, cog after 3 months, handlebars, grips, paintjob, seat

Bottom Line:

this was a fairly descent bike when i got it. basically a beginners bike somewhat heavy at first after a while you get usedt to the weight and soon able to do 180's on flat then rims become a problem with the stock ones being terribly poor overall its a good beginners bike but if your serious about bmxing i wouldnt bother

Strengths:

DURABILITY

Bottom Line:

THIS BIKE CANNOT BE COMPARED TO IN TERMS OF DURABILITY ITS WAY OVER THE REST. ITS BUILT TO LAST. AS FOR THE RIDE, IT TAKES A BIT TO REALLY SETTLE IN TO, IT WAYS THE SAME AS MY MOUNTAIN BIKE 26.5 POUNDS, FOR THE WHIEGHT IT REACTS EXTEMELY WELL AND QUICK. IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF AIRBORN TRIPS TO REALIZE THE BALANCE BUT NOTHING DRASTIC. THE ONLY CHANGE I DID MAKE WAS, I BEEFED UP THE CHAINRING TO A 48 TOOTH (BIG DIFFERENCE).
