Date Reviewed: February 16, 2004
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $536.00
Purchased At:Main cycle
Strengths:Great frame matched up with a great rear rst. weight is alright for the frame type
Weaknesses:front shock has to go. I got rid of mine and put on a awsome downhill rst to match the rear and what a difference. tires cound be a bit wider and the pivot could be a better brand considering mine went bad
Bike Setup:walked out all togeather
Bottom Line:this bike is great for the money can't be beat. and a great set up for upgrading. get a good frint shock, leave the back, get wider tires (2.35 work great) and then the bike will handle what you throw at it
