Favorite Trail:
Anywhwere in the Andes Mountains
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$700.00
Purchased At:
Moscow Russia
Strengths:
The bike is a great all around bike for the price. It's suspension is set up well enough from stock to handle all the abuse I put it through. I usually take it on rocky trails and it handles excellent.
Weaknesses:
I had to send the frame back to be replaced, because I was out on a trail and I came off of a samll drop (about 4 ft) and the bike broke into 2 peices. The main tube just snapped and the entire bike came apart which left me laying on top of the front half 20ft away from the other half. Since the replacement it has been fine. I am still trying to figure out how and why that happened, it wasn't even at a weld it was 4 inches up from the crank on the main tube.
Bike Setup:
Stock
Bottom Line:
All around a great bike for it's price I would buy another one. When I had the frame snap in to 2 peices they replaced it quick and without problems. Good starter bike for a weekend rider.
