from London, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: October 1, 2002 Strengths: For 1400 bucks Canadian, brand new, nothing's better. The forks are super solid, the frame is bomber strong and plush, this bike kicks. Great cranks and wheels. Weaknesses: You gotta ditch the halfpipe shifters right away. There were a terrible choice for a freeride bike. The saddle is also super cheesy. I bent mine the first day I rode it. Final minor complaint is that the pedal studs fall out. Loctite them in and no problem though. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1000.00 Purchased At: Fresh Air in Ottawa Similar Products Used: Giant AC2 (Also awesome) Norco bomber (Nasty) Bike Setup: Stock except for LX rapidfire shifters.

from Victoria, B.C. Canada Date Reviewed: July 15, 2001 Strengths: fork(z5qr20) vuelta dh rims are bombproof. I cased a 15 foot gap going as fast as I could and they still don't even wobble Weaknesses: I'm not that heavy at all and I am 13 years old but I have managed to crack the frame. They are only small cracks but they will get bigger and I find that with the 5.5 inches in the rear it makes the bike land really hard. So I'm going back to a hardtail and getting a torrent(that is if they warranty the frame) AND THE HAYES HMX1'S SUCK!!!!!GET AVID!!!!

from Williams LAke, BC Date Reviewed: May 17, 2001 Strengths: Plush ride, it sucks up big hits well. Stable in the air, also lands well. Strong, this thing won't break. The monoque frame looks pretty sweet. Weaknesses: The Hayes Mechanicals are an excellent brake, but suffer more stiction than the Hydraulic units. The seatpost must be cut, or get a telescopic one.
