from Aurora Date Reviewed: July 27, 2001 Strengths: not much its alright for an entry level bike it has lasted throgh a good beating Weaknesses: wast of money on the rear shock you would be better off using the money towords an entry level hardtial the basic component are worth a small upgrade for the amount you paid for the rear shock i quickly destroed the rear rim and cashed out 170 for a new downihill rim that assured me nothing will hapen to it this time after a year of hard riding i feel its not worth mantaining and ill just need to buy a new bike but i am sticking with khs. I ve onlly been doing 2 foot drops with it lately but it creeks and crackles underneathme every time i hit the ground. the housing has already began to crack and split open making shifting and braking harder than it should be Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: bicycle planet Similar Products Used: entry level peogeat (or however u spell it) im envious i wish i bought this instead its a entry level bike to but instead of being a full suspension bike its a hardtail with better components. really there is nothing so big and hard that you would be better off doing it with the khs Bike Setup: mainly it still has all the origional parts but i put on my friends rock shox jett (much better than the rst 260 that came on it and eventually started spitting out oil with a rusty tinge) i upgraded the rear rim to a mavic dh 521 witch is probably the best thing on my bike right now.

from Boise ID Date Reviewed: February 22, 2000 Strengths: Great price for a full suspension bike. Weaknesses: I'm about 250 lbs. and every time I would exert pressure to the pedals, the bike would scream! Grinding sounds galore and the chain would pop off the front as well. The bike shop assembled another and it did the same thing. They told me I was flexing the frame. I don't know if that's accurate, but the bike simply wasn't acceptable. So if your a large rider, beware! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Similar Products Used: GT Aggressor Bike Setup: stock

from Palo Alto, CA Date Reviewed: December 29, 1999 Strengths: Great frame, soft shocks, the V brakes are amazing, and definitely good for its price. Has a very smooth ride, and can pull off any trick you can possibly do on an MTB. Weaknesses: Hard seat. Sometimes, you get the feeling you're going to flip over when it hits a bump with the back wheel because of the frame orientation. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: Some crappy old Huffy my friend gave me. Bike Setup: Standard store bought.
