from Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada Date Reviewed: August 12, 2001 Strengths: Solid bang for the buck. I am 5'6" and i have a hard time finding bikes that fit, the 13.5" frame is as good as i've found for a freeride hardtail. Real head turner with Burnt Orange paint job. Best bike i've had in years! Weaknesses: Can't get rear hayes disc brakes to stop rubbing, anybody got any tips on how to fix that? Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: the wishbone Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $2100.00 Purchased At: Action Sport & Cycle inc. Similar Products Used: Santa Cruz Chamelion, Mongoose VRS 5.0, Rocky Mountain Hammer. Bike Setup: All stock, except i upgraded to an 8" rotor up front.

from Vancouver Date Reviewed: June 25, 2001 Strengths: Bulletproof frame (American Monocoque/Easton Elite), well thought out design for North Shore-style freeriding. Replacable drops, oversize stays with clearance for BIG tires. Amazing componentry for the price. Weaknesses: - SRAM half-pipe shifters; probably better to have rapid-fire. - too plush with stock Marzocchi spring; need heavier for larger frame sizes (17" and over). - SRAM 9.0 is too weak; better with an 8-speed. - Would have put an 8" rotor on front. - A bit tough to climb; MCR fork might help. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Corkscrew/Pangor Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $2100.00 Purchased At: John Henry Similar Products Used: RM6, Kona Stinky Primo, Brodie Spark, Brodie Holeshot, Ritchey Timberline (vintage :) Bike Setup: Fork - Marzocchi Z1 Dropoff QR20 Cranks - Raceface NS XS double with bashguard.
