from Austria Date Reviewed: July 4, 2004 Strengths: - Absolutely bombproof. - Smooth and plush travel all the way. - With proper rearshock and some modifications it can have 12+ inches of true rear travel. - Can handle any drop offs you can. - Won't go a chopper with SuperMonsters neither. - Really cheap if you can find one. - Far more stable at high speeds than anything else I tried due to enormous wheelbase, however pretty uncomfortable in hairpins and tight turns. - If it's important for you, it has a tire clearance up to 3". Weaknesses: - Weights over 6kgs with rearshock, seatpost and bottom bracket. - Head angle sucks a bit, so it's hard to find the proper fork. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Way to home Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: From a friend of mine Similar Products Used: Chaka Supermoto (actually used for a while), Giant Team DH, Tomac Magnum (only tried them) Bike Setup: DDG Slammer, 888, Holzfeller, Hayes, XT, DoubleWide, Gazzaloddis

from Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales Date Reviewed: January 31, 2004 Strengths: Very tough frame. nice smooth travel and easy to maintain. The way the seatpost is mounted makes i great if you need extra clearance riding down the side of a quarry or something else as steep. The adjustable geometry is great too cuz it allows it to take a much wider range of fork lengths. Weaknesses: only weakness I've found it the block that goes between the frame and the shock. I've bent mine to hell and back, but it was already hammered when I got the bike and because of this, bends shock bolts often. The rear shock I got with mine (DNM Torch with 2 springs) is a bit on the dodgy side too. Some people say they're heavy but weight isn't an issue with me. combated that by buying big wide tyres so it will corner just as well as any bike.

from Nympsfield, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire Date Reviewed: January 6, 2004 Strengths: Lots of travel, looks cool, masive tyre clearance at 3 inches+ rear shock is a DNM Torch which has 2 springs 1 soft and 1 hard for soft initial travel and hard travel after to avoid bottoming out. Weaknesses: head tube slightly too long, should have ISCG mounts. Does anyone know how you can secure a chain device apart from tightening the bb real tight if so email me at acorn2155@hotmail.com Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Painswick Down hill Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $365.00 Purchased At: from a mate Similar Products Used: Marin shoreline trail, Club Roost DH8 Bike Setup: 2001 Marzocchi Monster T's, Hope Enduro 4's, Azonic bars and stem, Mavic D521 on Hope bulbs, Michelin Comp 32 2.8.
