Strengths:    Lightweight, awesome geometry, stylee paint job

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
Can't wait to race this beast, but the feel from training has been amazing. It climbs like a mountain goat on speed, and I have a newfound confidence when it comes to descending. Easton Ultralight tubing keeps it light and relatively stiff, and the best paint job I've seen on a bike tops it all off! A must for any bargain seeking XC racer...

Submitted by Christer Johansson a Cross Country Rider from Stockholm, Sweden

Date Reviewed: May 27, 2001

Strengths:    Light, symmetry of the frame makes it a very fun bike to ride. Looks extremely good. Lightwheigt, frame is only 3.3 lbs.

Weaknesses:    Come to think of it... none in particular... Well I'd like the new model when it ships.

Bottom Line:   
After riding CrMo frames I finally gave in to Aluminum. This frame/bike is really something special, it feels when you ride it, a special feeling, light, easy to manuver, great to climb...

The finish is very nice, hope that is stays in that way for a looong time.

Buy the bike if you are looking for a real "top of the line" bike/frame.

KHS have made bikes since 1974 and you can really tell, it's quality all the way!
