Strengths: great frame and rims
high quality components for the price
handles very well and is much snappier than any other bike i've ridden
Weaknesses: THE SHOCKS!!!
they are the most horrible shocks EVER!!
dont buy this bike if your not planning on replacing the fork.
Bottom Line: the rocks
its light and handles well
the shocks are heavy and there is no dampening system on then whatsoever
they will break sooner or later it just depends really if you ride hard or not
the components are better than expected for a bike of this price
but i think they saved quite a bundle on putting very cheap shocks up front.
disc brake works well
this is a bike for riders dont buy this bike if your planning on casualy riding around the streets
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$550.00
Bike Setup: new stem and risers BUT; stock parts are excelent
new marzocchi Z.1 QR.20 (new shocks are advisible if you dont want to kill yourself

Strengths: -This bike has GREAT wheels, I haven't bent a rim yet.
-Front disk break works well.
-Suspension fork takes all the bumps out.
-Suspension seatpost works well.
-Tires claw their way right up the trail.
-The aluminum frame is really light.
Weaknesses: The only weakness is that the handlebar plugs easily fall out. Hopefully a litte glue will fix that problem.Bottom Line: After a few hundred miles, I am very impressed with the bike. The rims are very strong. The fork with 3" of travel works well. It claws its way through deep mud yet still can fly on the downhill. I hit 40 mph today. This is a true mountain bike for a true mountain biker!!!!
Favorite Trail: Dismal Creek
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Similar Products Used: -Kona Hahanna

-Cignal Ranger
Bike Setup: Totally stock except for a few little toys: Cateye Cordless Computer, Cygolite Nite-Rover Ni-Cad for the late rides. I put power-grips on because I really liked them on my Kona.
