Strengths:
low maintenance, no bob on climbs, great bike geometry for technical downhill riding, great for ramp launches at speed, solid turning in all conditions, bike soaks up the big hit wheelie drops
Weaknesses:
it's not light - climbing Old Buck is like weightlifting, Jr.T lacks tunability/dampening for big compression front end transitions, rear suspension in not sensitive to the small stuff
Similar Products Used:
Aeon Joker; Brodie Diablo
Bike Setup:
26" wheels front/back, Jr.T, Hayes brakes, XT, Intense DH rubber
Bottom Line:
This is a great bike if you want more downhill than uphill riding, like wheelie drops, and want low maintenance. 2001 Devo is lighter than 2002.
