Bike is great, been through all sorts of terrain, put a set of FAT Mammoth 2.1 wheels on and improved it a lot.
Had my I Drive six since 2001, just found a stress crack at the top of the bottom bracket where the weld meets it, bugger.Will repair it and keep using it .
Great value for money

It took 3 months to pay off my I drive on lay a way... It was suspenseful. I took the test ride in a parking lotest ride in a parking lot... But it just "felt right". The body stretch. The leg throw... All of it. And 2390 mimiles later it was stolen. GRRRR. The only bike that came close to the comfort and weight was Gary Fischer street model.
I never found a weakness . I put some 1.95 street tires and used it for urban assault... Rode like a damn dream!!!!!!
I hope this helps people tonwake up to pleasure on to wheels.

Great suspension design
Great geometry
Weight
Rear tire clearance
stock components.
Got this bike stock for a steal on CL for only 50$. Redid just about everything on it. Only stock parts are headset and frame. Great efficient design. Taken it down some gnarly trails. I love the damn thing.
Rear tire clearance blows though. 2.1 is the most you can realistically expect to fit back there.

Durable Frame, Awesome Paintjob
Original setup is crap, old bushing wear out after 2000 kms
Best bike ever, rips through most, will take small to moderate drops, idrive blasts through climbs, virtually maintenance free on the idrive. 9000kms plus.

Frame is solid! Idrive keeps the tires on the ground.
Original components are weak! Shocks are old and outdated.
Found the bike on Craigslist for $125. Completely gutted the Tiberline Idrive (same as 6.0) and added all the goodies stated above. This bike rocks!! 2001 model can reach 4.5" travel! Idrive system and MC3 shock completely eliminate pedal bob. Probably over kill with the MC3, but its very plush. Some flex in the rear triangle, but what do you expect from a full suspension. With a little luck finding a frame, spending some cash on upgrades ($450), and time putting together.... I recommend this bike to anyone.

Bought bike as birthday present for little brother. 1500 road miles, half as many in grueling desert mountains, and a few job free months later I watched my brother in a state of joy usually reserved for illicit activities. I am still impressed with the durability of the paint as well as the overall design. Very much designed for all around recreational hooliganism forgoing extensive climbing.
RST must stand for Risky Situation Tomes. Much thanks to GT for the Judy XC. In general the Suntour parts have froze up or broken after innumerable amounts of undue stress. The Alivio components as well as the rest are not meant for the abuse inflicted by any amount of juvenile behavior needed to properly enjoy the limits of the fork and shock travel.
My brother has a full time mechanic(me)to correct mechanical failures resultant of urban and off road fun. Suspension so good you don't even notice that it isn't liscensed to every bike comany without an R&D department. Almost seems to be the steel of yesteryear with a frame so solid it will last for years.

I think the heavier 6.0 frame is stronger than the 1.0 - 5.0 frames. Also, I'm 6'4" & 220 Lbs, so the XL frame fits quite well. I-Drive is the best. Much better than Schwinn Rocket or Specialized FSR.
Cheap ass components. In 5 months of daily use I've busted the rear axle/freewheel, and bent the seatpost. The Suntour crank small ring is worthless too. I have to reshape the teeth every week to prevent chain suck. Surprisingly, the Suntour fork and RST rear shock are holding up great after rebuilding them.
With the original purchase price + the upgrades I'm still under $1000.00. I think this is the best deal in the world.
This is the best deal for riders who like their fun within 3 feet of mother earth. It climbs like a mountain goat and downhills like a freight train!

Theidrive kicks butt,it really makes it a lot easyer to go up hill.
the front shocks are really bad .the rims, I've heard are really bad, the only reason that i havent replaced them is because i am only 11 years old and i am a novice rider.
this bike is awesome as a beginner or intermediate bikei really dig it!!!!! it really absorbs all the shock you cam take and the price is awesome. if you are looking for a good bike for a good price get this one.

Great charger on sttep downhills, quick turner, and VERY solid.
The eccentric system. It came loose way to easy, after about a month and a half of riding.
This is a great bike for the price. i've heard people complain about the forks, but what do they expect for $600 -$700. Like I said before, this bike is great on steep downhill single track with quick turns. I've had no problems with this bike besides the eccentric I-Drive system coming loosening up on me, THAT SUCKS, but it still rides GREAT. If you are looking for quality and a CHEAP price, this is the bike for you. Even though now, you can get a 4.0 for about the same price. THAT SUCKS THE MOST! Get thee bike, It's great...
