Strengths: Torsionally stiff. Good all round bike. Great Downhill.Weaknesses: Could loose a lb - but, there again, so could IBottom Line: Very happy with the bike and have become faster downhill once I learnt to trust the bike. This is probably due to it being well balanced for fast carving. Once the discs were over their running in period, they haven't needed adjustment for the last 8 months.
It's an acceptable climber that doesn't bob much if you remain seated.
Favorite Trail: Naseby

from Brisbane Queensland AustraliaDate Reviewed: June 10, 2001
Strengths: Awsome braking feels like someone made my downhill bike climb great contol and geometry
Weaknesses: may be slightly upright feel for some rider but generally no faults found
Bottom Line: Unbelievable bike for the buck. Haven't tried it with the standard fork, may be a bit short travel at75mm but with Psylos set at 100mm. Try and stop this bike You've just got to get used to the extra speed. Stopping is no prob due to the new upgrade from the RST cable brakes to the super hot Magura Julie stoppers.
Upgrade fork and GO GET ONE!!!!!!!!
Favorite Trail: Castle hill & Cootha
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Purchased At: NRG cycles
Similar Products Used: xc only used hardtails which is no comparison. Avanti Moto feel on the downhill better than hardtail climbing power
Bike Setup: Did some upgrades from standard fitted xc psylos[awsome fork esspecially for price] stiffy stem, cabon risers, 72 BB, XT rear mech.

Strengths: GREAT brakes, because it has front and rear wheel discs. pretty good shifters too. it looks better than most of the bikes i see on the road, or on trails.Weaknesses: suspension too weak sometimes(soft), there is no quick realease, which is not good.Bottom Line: this bike has the best brakes i have ever tried on a bike. its shifters are also buttery smooth. pretty good price for a really good bike(approx $550 with much negotiating and bargaining)
