$425.00 | | Purchased At: | halfords | | Strengths: | the 2005 havoc: wheels are bomb proof and brakes(hayes mx2 cable and avid levers) are amazing better than some hdraulic definatly better than the hayes 9. | | Weaknesses: | rear shock is pretty pants and same with front. i had a problem that my sus plates were hitting of the seat clamp but easily sorted. | | Bike Setup: | 06 junior ts | | Bottom Line: | basically this bike stock is not made for downhill but saying that all i have changed is the forks and i aint having any problems still riding fast. uphills could kill you thoguh no fancy frame to design to help you get up there quicker only thing that helps is putitng on the rebound full on keeps it pretty much locked. ive not done much riding due breaking my leg but ive done i would say 10ft drops and the bikes takes it and asks for more but im not sure how much more. it likes going fast but the rear end is a bit sloppy if it gets really rough but a new shcok will easy change that.
i got this bike cheap staf discount and the forks cheap aswell i paid £600 in total and ive been able to everyhting that my friends can on there 1200+ bikes and had no more or less problems with it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$100000000000.00 | | Purchased At: | a place that ripped me off | | Strengths: | none at all | | Weaknesses: | hmmmmmmmmm, let me see. Oh yes, one weakness is the ENTIRE BIKE | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | the best | | Bottom Line: | man, what a load of garbage. I hate this bike. I got rid of the hunk-of-junk load-of-trash 50 50 sale. I did ONE tiny little drop (not more than a foot) and i saw a crack in the frame right away. Jeeeeeeeeeeez, this thing is garbge. I am now the MUCH more proud owner of no bike, unless you count a shopping cart. I let my friend ride it once after i fixed the crack, and he, just like me, hated it. I hope that this bike gets taken off the production line straight away, along with anything to remind me of it. DO NOT BUY IT. YOU WILL GET GARBAGE!!!!! i wish i could give the thing a lower rating. Only a two year old should buy this, or a half pound heavy adult. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
