Takes hard down hill spills well. Just ask that tree in the German country side. | | Weaknesses: | Front fork doesn't have alot of travel, can be upgraded.
Had to replace rims due to hard trails. | | Similar Products Used: | Only other bike I've ownd is the Trek. The front suspension on it was better and it was lighter. Cost twice as much!!!! | | Bike Setup: | everything stock,not into it enough to go all out | | Bottom Line: | Would tell anyone out there to buy this bike.

$700.00 | | Purchased At: | Mannihiem Germany | | Strengths: | Very strong bike. Light for a full suspinshion bike. Handles great. Realy good bike on jumps and ruff trails. Handle bar grips are the best Ive ever felt. | | Weaknesses: | My front fork was a insync fork and it did not have much travel to it, I upgraded to a Judy XC. | | Bike Setup: | Tec Tro brakes, Tru Vative crank, Alex rims, Maxis tires, WTM spokes, Deore rapid fire shifters, Deore hubs, LX rear derailer, crap front derailer(up graded to a XTR) Richy head set, | | Bottom Line: | Bike is good for the price. You will not find a full suspinshion bike that good for any cheaper. I have up graded alot of things on the bike and have made it alot lighter. I have hade 2 realy bad wreakes on the bike and only bent the rim, bent the rear derailer and twisted the chain. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 18, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Price is a real strength. Overall design and components are ok. STX-RC rapid fire shifters are nice. STX-RC brakes front and back are good. STX-RC front derailer is good. | | Weaknesses: | Front suntour shock sucks...I hate it. The bike is a bit heavy but alot of that comes from the front shock. They used all STX-RC components except for the LX rear derailer??? Whats up with that??? | | Similar Products Used: | Cannondale super V 700
Wheeler H/T Decked out. | | Bike Setup: | Stock except for tires which where changed out for panaracer smokes.. | | Bottom Line: | Overall for the price I like the bike. A better front shock would have been nice. If I had it to do again I would buy another... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
