Strengths:    All

Weaknesses:    Little onthe heavy side still a smooth ride


Bottom Line:   
My dad had originally bought it for himself and still remembers the date he got a first (and last) scratch on it. Currently he doesn't have this 2001 model but a similar one from "95". He said that he can't ride it anymore so I get it! :-D. Anyway I love riding it I once rode it from Woonsocket to Pawtucket on a 3 and 1/2 hour trip with my brother on a Fiji mountain bike. Long story short I got in trouble (I was 13 at the time and I'm overweight so hopefully that shows how much of a smooth easy ride it was)

Strengths:    almost everything

Weaknesses:    almost nothing

Bottom Line:   
like i said this was a hand-me-down from my older brother that had it since 2001, i had to finally sell it earlyer this year because me and my family moved to maine and my parents didnt want to bring it, iv had it since i was 11( i am currently 14) and its held up for almost 10 years. some of its parts like the rear wheel have been replaced with other bike wheels but most everything is stock, the only big problem i had was when i tried to ride it after winter and the chain or something was skipping(i forgot what it was) but me and my dad fixed it and i got to ride it for another 3 months before we moved and i had to sell it :( but luckily i got $75 out of it! overall: great bike for begginners and for recreation

Date Reviewed: October 10, 2008

Strengths:    Very strong frame great for vert, street, and flatland riding. Bike comes well equipt from the factory.

Weaknesses:    Heavy would not use for a race bike but all freestyle bikes now days are tanks

Bottom Line:   
This bike overall is a great bike for the avrage to pro rider. For the avrage rider I would leaVE THE BIKE STOCK. Fot the pro I would suggest upgrading the crank, sproket, and maybe even the wheels. Would highly recoment this bike for the avrage rider. What matters in a bike is mostly how it feels to you and how it suits your needs. I,ve seen dudes on huffys that can out ride people on high end bikes and also you can always make a bike your own with all of the aftermarket parts out there. So ride it and see what you think. I actually own this bike in chrome and love it.

Strengths:    the handelbars crank and frame

Weaknesses:    chain back wheel front spokes

Bottom Line:   
it is a good bike but the rame bends a lil to much for the big ramps if you land a little oof. so i would say it is a good bike for more younger and less experienced riders.

Date Reviewed: September 20, 2004

Strengths:    Although it has been vandalized with a hammer, the frame is holding pretty well.

Weaknesses:    Since I was without a bike or money most of the bike consists of old Huffy parts. A little heavy.

Bottom Line:   
for being a rat bike it handles abuse. If you like to do some tricks get yourself one of these bikes, However if you are hardcore get a stronger bike
