$900.00 | | Purchased At: | from a friend | | Strengths: | Tough and stiff, yet about as light as my hardtail Stumpjumper was. It's painted celeste. | | Weaknesses: | Parallel pull brakes make taking the rear wheel off really hard, but I don't have to do that too often. | | Similar Products Used: | Various Stumpjumpers | | Bike Setup: | Stock, but with a 2004 Marz MX comp w/ eta | | Bottom Line: | This bike rocks! I wasn't sure I'd like dual suspension, but whenI accidentally went off a big drop the other day I was sure glad I had it! This bike soaks up gnarled terrain without sacrificing climbing ability. It is about as light as my hardtail was due to the implementation of a lot of titanium components. I got the bike second hand from a guy that was a sponsored racer, so I didn't have to pay what it originally cost. The original cost seems hard to justify. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
