Strengths:    suspension to weight ratio, wicked sick construction, best long travel climbing design

Weaknesses:    hmmmmmm? no complaints after a dozen and a half rides

Bottom Line:   
i am a cc rider who prefers the downhill but not averse to climbing. needed a bike to charge many downhills with mo' travel than the superlignt. but no pig to climb---> this is a money machine, so f'n $$$$$. does everything i want it to 50 mph dh, big drops, technical sections, and still only a few minutes behind my cc breden on the climb. not to mention the beauty of the bike fully built. red gold and green and capable of anything!!! thanks and praises to D. Turner ----> you the MAN
the only drawback i can fathom is the $$$. but if you ride everyday and have no girlfreind or can just plain afford it, but it. it rocks with its cock out!

Date Reviewed: September 5, 2000

Strengths:    By far the finest bike I have ever ridden. Super plush suspension, excellent handling, first rate quality of construction.

Weaknesses:    Took 4 1/2 months to get...1 year warranty

Bottom Line:   
I love this bike. I have only ridden it twice, but it is cleary a phenomenal machine. I am so impressed by the handling. Taking corners 5-10 mph faster, with more control. Built up, my bike checks in at 32.5 pounds (frame alone is 8.4lbs), but it pedals better uphill than my Trek did. And downhill...just amazing. Floating and gliding over everything. This bike just plain feels solid, both up hill and down. If you are looking for a do anything fun bike, buy one, you won't regret it.

Submitted by DAVID PROCIDA a Racer from LAHABRA, CA. 90631

Date Reviewed: January 14, 2000

Strengths:    THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PLAY BIKE AND WHEN SET UP FOR DOWNHILL (WITH A TRIPLECLAMP FORK AND SINGLE CHAINRING (44t)MAKES FOR AN EXCELLENT ENTRY LEVEL (BEGINNER/SPORT) RACE BIKE. IT FLAT OUT PEDALS EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TIRED IT STILL WANTS TO GO.

Weaknesses:    HAVEN'T FOUND ANY AND DON'T EXPECT TO. PUT TOGETHER RIGHT THIS BIKE IS A WINNER. I'M PUTTING MY NAME ON THE LIST FOR EITHER AN O2 TO RACE CROSS COUNTRY WITH AND/OR A SUPER DAVE D-H BIKE FOR MAMMOTH.

Bottom Line:   
THIS IS THE BIKE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT YOU BELIEVE THAT A RACXE BIKE CAN DOUBLE AS A PLAY BIKE. I'V RIDDEN THE LOOP ON IT AND IT GOES UP HILL (ALMOST ALL OF THEM)WITHOUT TOO MUCH EFFORT, BUT WHEN IT'S TIME TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK DOWN, THERE'S NO BEATING THIS BIKE. RIDE ONE YOU'LL SEE WHY I LIKE IT SO MUCH.
