Submitted by Stylez a Downhiller from Vancouver
Date Reviewed: March 4, 2004
Favorite Trail:Mt Seymour(North Shore baby!)
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Purchased At:1600 can
Strengths:very strong and cushy, fun as hell to ride
Weaknesses:haven't found any yet
Similar Products Used:brodie diablo, 8-ball
Bike Setup:7-inch boxxers, blackspire chainguide, fox shox, race face, blah blah blah
Bottom Line:worth buying, makes all the difference in the world, like pushing a couch down the hill and riding it like a sled, yet very agile and controllable. Reccommend for someone looking to upgrade from a smaller bike
dude, if you're reading this then just buy the bike you wont be disappointed.

Submitted by dv8 a Weekend Warrior from somerville, ma
Date Reviewed: June 8, 2002
Favorite Trail:lynn woods (r.i.p. bow ridge)
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $750.00
Purchased At:ebay
Strengths:this bike is very cushy and confidence inspiring. suits my riding style (210lb. freerider). strong and stable. pimp lookin' ride.
Weaknesses:confidence inspiring, some people may complain about a 42lb. bike (not me though), a little tall, not many u.s. dealers.
Similar Products Used:2000 bullit (sweet, but not for me), 2001 rm6 (can you say tank)
Bike Setup:jr.t, 8"/6" discs, race face crank, tioga dh rims and cully pedals, intense tires, thompson's post, xt drivetrain, protapers
Bottom Line:if you like to drop, this is your bike. if you like to jump, this is your bike. if you like to go fast, this is your bike. if you're a big dude, this is your bike. this bike is heavy, strong, stable, and trust worthy. the thing pedals so efficiently that i ride this bike with no front derailleur and climb everything that my buddies on hard tails and 30lb. trail bikes are riding. if your going to knock a bike because of it's weight you shouldn't be riding this type of bike anyway. oh, and guys, if you shave your legs, this is not your bike. ride fast - take chances!!!
