Date Reviewed: July 15, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | Learn to Fly | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | Tough as hell-has a tendency to make you feel like superman. Handles better than a squirrel monkey too. Gotta love the Super-T, North Shore cranks and ESP shifting. | | Weaknesses: | Those rims suck ass...not completely, but I hate them. For the cost of the bike I won't be replacing them for a while, but make damn sure your spokes are tight cuz they fold like nobody's business if there's the slightest bit of slack in even one spoke. Also check your cranks every ride cuz they have a bad habit of coming loose. DMR chainguide has a wimpy roller arm that likes to bend and make your chain skip, which is a huge piss-off when there's lotsa mosquitos around. | | Similar Products Used: | 2000 Norco VPS 2, RM Pipeline, RM6, Kona Stab | | Bike Setup: | Pretty much stock except for new rubber(the motoraptors aren't bad but they wash out way too easy)-next year this bike will see the team DH linkage, doublewides and a bigger fork(not sure which one yet). | | Bottom Line: | A killer deal. This bike eats up anything. Don't buy this bike unless you live in BC-the gearing and setup are perfect up here but will suck ass if you're gonna race DH or if you live in places like California etc...but man, this bike is awesome. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
