Specialized P.2 DJ/MtnX
Product DescriptionThe "P' in "P. Bikes" doesn't stand for "Pretty". No fluff and no sparkly stuff. Just bombproof rides that mix advanced technology and top-shelf materials with geometry proven in the street, park and dirt. The P.2 Cr-Mo can ride it all, but is most at home on the dirt jumps.

from Seattle Date Reviewed: December 18, 2011 Strengths: This review is for a 2009 aluminum P2. Great geometry, very long top tube (~23.5") for a one-size-fits-all bike, very short chainstays, horizontal dropouts, this bike loves to jump and is easy to control in the air (what little air I manage to get anyway). This bike builds confidence quickly. Weaknesses: Stock rims are pretty weak, stock handlebar and stem are lame. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: My block Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $575.00 Purchased At: CL Similar Products Used: None - my first jump bike. Bike Setup: Running single speed, XT chainring, Hussefelt cranks/bb, e13 bash guard, Deity twenty14 bar, RaceFace D2 stem, Rhyno Lite rear rim, Ritchey Comp setback seatpost, Specialized Lo Pro Mag 2 pedals, everything else is stock.

from Canada Date Reviewed: July 8, 2009 Strengths: Extremely sturdy frame. Good suspension too. With the right gear added on, you can make it look like a sexy creamsicle. Thats what i did for mine. Orange and white for almost everything. Weaknesses: Wheels. I suggest that you sell them while you can still make a buck and get some dirtjumper rims. Anything but alexrims(brutally misadvertised, most of their products should be used for cross country only) and its made of chromoly. Great for weighing you down.

from Santa Cruz, CA Date Reviewed: June 15, 2008 Strengths: Solid. This thing feels like a tank. I do some DJ but mainly downhill trails around UCSC and Wilder. I love the geometry of this bike. It's easy to handle and steer. Manuals and bunny hops are so easy now. I could never bunny hop before I got this bike, and granted I'm not the best in the world at it, I can now hit a jump and launch off it with more confidence. Weaknesses: The weight I guess. I weigh ~160lb, the first few times I rode it up the hills to go on rides were very hellish. I'd gotten up those hills before with no problems, but this bike is definitely heavy. I got used to it though. After about 4 rides, I fly up hills without even thinking about it. The fork (Marzocchi EXR Comp) is lame. I'm in the market for a new one right now. It doesn't soak up anything really, I feel like I have a rigid fork...that's with all the air out of it. To its credit, I haven't checked the oil levels or anything, but I want a bit more travel for downhill stuff anyway.
