from Charlottesville,Va Date Reviewed: January 19, 2001 Strengths: Overall excellent XC bike!!! Love the way this bike climbs. Bike is very tuneable, corners better than anything I've been on. Eats up the track and you don't feel like you've been beat to death when the ride is over. No complaints at all on handling. Weaknesses: Comes with entry level components, seat is the worst I've ever sat on. Might as well be sitting on the seat post. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Panarama Farms Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $1600.00 Purchased At: Extreme Sports Similar Products Used: Super V carbon full suspension, Fisher hardtail, Specialized Bike Setup: Kept the Fatty Head, I like this shock, first time for a fatty head and I'm impressed with its capabilities. You can turn this shock off, which is a nice feature when you pop on to the hard surface. Kept the fox rear shock, disk brakes, and wheelset. Everything else is XTR. RaceFace XY post, Avocet 02 saddle.

from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: March 3, 2000 Strengths: The '99 Raven 900 frameset is the best riding frameset on the market. In stock form, the 900 is a very good value as far as componentry is conserned. This frame offers superior rear end rigidity and suspension plushness with a good rising rate of travel. This bike climbs like a hardtail and descends like all out DH bike. Compared to the 2000 Raven 2 frameset this bike kicks ass. Grab one while you still can!!!!! Weaknesses: Problmatic Magura Louise Disc Brakes. Magura was good enough to replace the defective offerings free of charge. Buy Magura brakes and feel the power!!!!!!!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Homer Watson Park Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: Not one bike on earth holds a candle. Bike Setup: Stock setup includes: Magura Louise Disc Brakes, Mavric 221 Disc specific rims, XT and LX component mix. Immediate Upgrades Include: Rock Shox SID XL fork (the blue color kicks ass), Profile Carbon Fiber Riser Bar, Shimano 545 Platform pedals, Race Face Turbine LT Crankset (in SID blue color).
