anyone I can poach
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$3700.00
Purchased At:
Fanatyk bike shop
Strengths:
best of everything for cheap price. super plush adjustable suspension. you get to play a hacksaw & vice. bombproof urban camo wheels Nigga! sh*t is hard for real! the codes are dreamy they stop me soooo good every time.
Weaknesses:
Some people might cut a limb off when trimming the seatpost
the code's pads only last about 30 days of riding so stock up on pads. You never know when you'll be some place like Snowshoe bike we sold outta those pads two days into the season Shop.
Similar Products Used:
Kona stab & stinky, Giant faith, the regular A line and the shore, evil ? for couple runs and some transtition rig once
Bike Setup:
it's all stock even if you don't have a habit leave it stock it's all good even the Kenda tires and the big ol' wtb seat except for trail bell and biggest bike lock I could find
Bottom Line:
I want to cook up the bottom line but these people are saying I got to give it to you... If you got $4000.00 hacksaw and a vice, you can case the biggest step down and ride away. You can give it zero wrench time and she'll still shift down when you're hearing footsteps weekends at your lift serv joint The Norco A-line PE is best of it's kind. Nothing comes close until you get off the sauce and buy small company frame and do complete custom build up.If you go that route maybe you could let me hold a dolla?

Angel
Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$3300.00
Purchased At:
KSH Bicycle Shop
Strengths:
Everything is strong i would say. The fork and Rocco TST-R shock rocks, it is so plush, even at 12 feet i barely felt anything on the landing, and it was almost flat. The frame design is well built and really strong. Feels bottomless on the 8.6inches option
Weaknesses:
Nothing, people who complain about the seatpost, well that was a problem, just trim the seat post that is what i did, and i did not have any problems at all.
Similar Products Used:
Giant STP1, Santa Cruz Bullit, Transition Gran Mal, Transition Dirtbag, Haro X1, and Iron Horse Sunday
Bike Setup:
200mm Marzocchi RCV, 229mm Rocco TST-R, E-13 Bashguard and chain guide, syncros hubs and handlebars, Avid Juicy 7, Sun Rims, WTB seat, Truvativ seatpost, Kenda Stick.E 2.5 and Sram X-9 short cage, shifter,sram PG950 chainring and PG950 chain.
Bottom Line:
This bike is great. I had doubts about this bike and other full suspension bikes, but nothing beats the feeling on this bike. It is plush and i go really fast with this bike even through rock garden and mud, and roots, i am the champion of malaysia on my hardtail, and on this bike i am also fastest in its class. This is a great bike and i have no regret on it the day i got it. I would give this full chilis, the bike practically feels like one with you and you have full control. Dont think twice, trust me, as a champion here i feel that this bike rocks and is the bike for any downhiller want to make it big someday.
