$475.00 | | Purchased At: | Sportwheels | | Strengths: | Rides smooth after high drops,jumps fine and has excellent components on it | | Weaknesses: | I'd like to know how much rear wheel travel it has and the disc brake is a little noisy | | Similar Products Used: | Norco wolverine, Giant ACid, Trek 4100 | | Bike Setup: | RST 381 fork with 6061 alumminium frame, shimano deore rear derailure, Diatech spiral stop front disc and Alex DM-18 double wall rims | | Bottom Line: | The bike is a realy good for the price. I do four foot drops to flat and the bike lands fine and I way 180 pounds. If your going to be doing 10 foot drops Iwouldn't suggest this bike but if you do medium drops and don't ride too hard the bike will last fine. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$375.00 | | Purchased At: | a bikeshop | | Strengths: | it was lite and it was good at desending | | Weaknesses: | it had a crapy fork and conponants and it was ugly. The tires sucked. | | Bike Setup: | it was okay | | Bottom Line: | it's an okay bike for the price of it. It could be better if it had a better fork and better hubs and deralers. I would like it better if it had a rear disk. The bike is only for cross country. I think it sucks at everything else. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$700.00 | | Purchased At: | Black Cycle, Comox, B.C. | | Strengths: | Dependable components on a solid frame. Norco knows how to build Suspension bikes. | | Weaknesses: | Front Acera X Derailer is a bit wacked but adjustments are underway. | | Similar Products Used: | Trek Y1, Brodie ZigZag (demo'd) | | Bike Setup: | Stock | | Bottom Line: | An affordable starter full suspension ride with great RELIABLE mid-range components. Rock Shox Judys up front,RST 20 rear, Truvativ Cranks, Grimeca Disc brake(mechanical) and a Deore Rear changer. For $950(Canadian Eh?) I can start riding intermediate single track and fairly intense downhill and not be trashed at the end of the day. I am keeping up with my buds who are deep into their $2500-$4000 rides. Hopefully the standard components hold up for a year and a half when I will probably upgrade to a higher end full suspension. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
