from Marshall, Mi, usa Date Reviewed: March 20, 2006 Strengths: great bike for the price, low maintance, always shifts great, handles great, does everything great. I've ridin this bike hard for years. I ride it to work daily, and trails on weekends. I've taking it all over the country and it has always done great. I rode a 77 mile gravel trail for 2 days and never had a problem. I've loade it with 60 extra pounds of camping gear and it handled it like nothing. I absolutly Love this bike. took 5 years of hard riding for parts to start to wear. rear derailuer works great, I replaced mine with a LX and wish I hadn't. stops better than anything i've ever owned. shifters are a cheap model but havn't failed me yet and the rear always does what I want it to. Weaknesses: crashed once and bent the chainrings, bottom bracket got full of sand, my wheels did bend" but which don't", trued the front once and the rear twice and the haven't bent hardly at all since. the fork is OK not enough travel, my bike came with a 1999 JETT not the 2000 model, mine doesn't give me much trouble, it doesn't realy stick at all but tops-out to much when my front wheel is off the ground. could use lighter parts but you could get those if you buy the next model up from the Yukon. doesn't have a barrel adjuster on front shifter, front derailuer is hard to get tuned perfect. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: fort custer Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $450.00 Purchased At: Alfred E. Bike Kalamazoo, MI Similar Products Used: MY OLD GIANT SEDONA AND IGUANA, MY BUDDY'S TREK AND GT. THE TREK AND GT WERE BOTH THE SAME YEAR AS MY YUKON WITH ALMOST IDENTICAL PARTS AND THE GIANT WAS THE LIGHTEST AND CHEAPEST. Bike Setup: ALMOST STOCK, PUT A SHIMANO LX REAR DERAILUER ON AND A XT BOTTOM BRACKET. GT PEDALS WITH SHORTY TOE CLIPS, ONLY CHANGED THOSE BECAUSE IT WAS FASTER THAN SWAPING THE CLIPS.

from Newfoundland, Canada Date Reviewed: June 18, 2004 Strengths: It's wanting to go and keep going. Very little attention needed to the adjustments. Adjust everything in the Spring and I'm good all summer, 3 years straight. Weaknesses: Rim and spoke combination, they are very weak and need to be trued more that I care for. I upgraded the pedals before I left the shop. I have a set of off-road tires and a set of street tires, when I finally upgrade the rims I will keep the original for the street only. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: What ever I ride on. Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $420.00 Purchased At: Earle Industries Similar Products Used: Trek, Gary Fisher Bike Setup: Stock setup on this puppy. No need to upgrade, haven't broke anything in the 3 1/2 years of riding it

from Victoria, British Columbia Date Reviewed: September 8, 2001 Strengths: The frame geometrics are outstanding. The wheelbase and seatpost set put me right over the cranks, making for acceleration that borders on explosive. For long rides I just set the saddle back maybe 1-2 cm more and bingo, I have a touring bike. Weaknesses: Didn't expect much from the stock components on this bike, and am not surprised to find they are wearing quickly. The saddle and the stock brake pads are very weak. Change that saddle in the shop unless you like 'numb bum', and any serious speed will melt rubber to your rims, so buy quality brake pads. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Galloping Goose & Hartland Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: The Bike Cellar Similar Products Used: Trek, Raleigh Bike Setup: The saddle and brake pads were first, changed for quality. I've rigged the bike to live commuting here on the "Wet Coast". I've put on clipless pedals, carrier and bags, fenders, a nice set of NiteHawk dual lights, and an air horn that has saved my butt more than once.
