Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$800.00
Purchased At:
Muskoka Pro Bicycle Shop
Strengths:
An awesome deal - for the about paid, the components on the bike are a great deal ! Nice short handle bar great for going around tight corners. For those who like to sit a little higher on the bikes, the handlebars are a little shorter bringing your arms in closer and bringing your centre of gravity up. The bike frame has mounts for disc brakes should you wish to upgrade.
Weaknesses:
On the negative side, because the handlbars are shorter it is tough to mount all the gadgets needed for a night ride (lights, bell, computer).
Similar Products Used:
First time for a full suspension bike for me. I have been riding Gary Fischer Yahoo, Trek 800, and various Giants. Full suspension is the 'Cadillac Experience' of bikes.
Bottom Line:
A good start for a full suspension bike equipped with quality components. A solid frame that with time can be upgraded with disc brakes and other higher-end components. I will be enjoying this bike for years to come !
