Date Reviewed: June 13, 2001

Strengths:    Frame, wheelset, front shock, low cost

Weaknesses:    seatpost, Wildgripper Jet tires are lightweight but perform poorly going downhill on sandy/rocky/desert single track

Bottom Line:   
I love this bike. Though it's weight is the same as my specialized aluminum hard tail (about 23lbs), it feels lighter, and is more responsive. I like the Wildgripper Jet tires (semislick) for the rides on the road to the trailhead, but for downhill on rocky/desert trails they are bad. All in all this is a great bike for the price. I am very satisfied with it. It feels like this is just the right bike for me. It is an excellent XC bike, but I would not use it for serious downhill, unless the tires were changed to big knobby.

Date Reviewed: June 8, 2001

Strengths:    frame, front shock and crank. Oh and the price.

Weaknesses:    shifters, front deraillor and wheelset, my local bike shop is put out (rightfully so.) Supergo advertised this bike with W.T.B laser cross country wheelset. What they sent was the speed wheelset , basically a piece of garbage. When I asked for the wheelset that was advertised they gave me a big run around. Supergo you suck !!!!

Bottom Line:   
best deal in titanium, airborne can't beat this deal. I know I checked.Rides very predictable, easy to find balance,
