Submitted by Michael a Downhiller from Detroit, MI

Date Reviewed: October 30, 1999

Strengths:    
Very stiff chassis, an incredible rear suspension, and great handling. You are totally unaware of how much work the rear suspension is doing. There is no perceived bobbing on those long steep climbs and no creaks from the suspension pivots on those long wet muddy rides.


Weaknesses:    
The Magura Louise Brake pads need to be backed off after each ride. Only takes about 20 sec. total time though. The vibrations seem to make the pads work there way inward toward the disc.


Bottom Line:   
Buy it. This has got to be one of the best bikes on the market. It handles more like a motocross bike than it does a mountain bike. There is no need to negotiate obstacles. Keep the front wheel pointed straight, stay off the brakes, and let the bike do the rest. Yes you can buy speed.
