Strengths:    Very responsive. Light weight. Fun to ride. Good climbing.

Weaknesses:    None so far.

Bottom Line:   
This bike has made me a better rider than I actually am. I am able to climb better with it than I could with my hardtail, and handling quick tight turns at speed is just plain fun with this bike. VERY pleased with the Truth!

Submitted by Nasty a Cross Country Rider from Toronto, ON

Date Reviewed: October 29, 2002

Strengths:    Excellent climbing bike, quick and light.

Weaknesses:    With a 3" stroke front fork the wheelbase is very tight which makes technical riding a bit more sketchy, 4" travel fork is a must with the Truth. Rear triangle flexes when applying the rear brake, creating a slight mush feel when braking, invest in a brake booster for the rear-end.

Bottom Line:   
Great all-around bike XC bike, race it, trail-ride it with with 160psi in the rear (I weigh 170). Climbs like a monkey. See my product weaknesses for must do upgrade advice.
