Where ever the jumps are!
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$1800.00
Purchased At:
Urban Lemming Cycles
Strengths:
Really awesome frame! 7000 heat treated aluminum is really awesome. Good price too!(1800 Canadian)It's light enough for cross country and strong enough to take big hits. I just replaced the Z-5s with dirt jumper 2's. It is such a sweet slalem bike! Takes jumps and drops really well.
Weaknesses:
It's a real pain in the a$$ to get up the hills. Quite a bit of flex and bobbing. I broke the damper in my shocks off a 6 footer!

Bike Setup:
XT and Deore parts, Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 2's (130 mm)
Bottom Line:
Good alround bike for someone with strong legs if they wanna go uphill. Kick a$$ bike for freeride and urban. Takes jumps awsome.
