    Strengths:    Great frame, looks really good, feels like a bmx bike. But most importantly, it's high flyer!

    Weaknesses:    Crapy parts (except frame) it has to many spacers its rear hub is impossible to remove, rims bend WAY to easily. Seat breaks really fast, and I find it to big for smaller skate parks.

    Bottom Line:   
    Buy the bike!! It's a great beginners dirt jumper. However, as you hit bigger and bigger jumps, buy new rims, shocks, tire, and front hub. I love this. Bike, BUY IT!!!!!!!

    Date Reviewed: January 21, 2009

    Strengths:    Rides smooth, great brakes.

    Weaknesses:    The rims are horrible, ive had to get my back rim trewed 3 times. I need to buy a new rim this year. I'd rather it come in single speed.

    Bottom Line:   
    This is a great bike, however to make it better Norco should make it single speed, and get some better rims on the thing. Its not even possible to do flat 180's on! Otherwise, i love the bike, it fits my urban street riding with my dirt jumps needs all in one.

    Strengths:    Frame seems very solid. Parts are good for the price.

    Weaknesses:    A little heavy but doesnt feel like it while riding. MZ comps not too sure about. Have heard some bad things about them but so far they are still in one piece.

    Bottom Line:   
    Awesome bike for the money. It jumps great seeing as it is my first 26" coming from 20" and I love the way it handles and jumps. Nice and solid. Reminds me of a big 20" so thumbs up from me.

    Date Reviewed: June 12, 2005

    Strengths:    Its a good bike for street/djing and light freeride. The frame is very strong and the cranks are mint. At first i didnt like the bar/stem, but now i think its one of the better things on the bike.

    Weaknesses:    Fork is weak as all get out, headset is crap and should be changed asap, brakes arent the best but are ok. also, the hubs should be changed out asap as well.

    Bottom Line:   
    Great for the amount of money you spend, i think you would be better off either upgrading the fork before leaving the shop, or spending the extra money and getting a 125. But, overall it is a great bike and if not abused will last a long time.

    10/10 for the frame i might add
