from Los Gatos, CA Date Reviewed: July 6, 2011 Strengths: Extremely fast and light. Ascends surprisingly well for a DH bike, durable and eats up rocks very well once you have adjusted it to your weight. Accelerates from stop or slow to top speed faster than any bike I've ever ridden. Jumps great as well. Perfect racing bike. Weaknesses: Bontrager parts, takes a good deal of adjusting suspension.

from Stockton-on-Tees, UK Date Reviewed: December 14, 2010 Strengths: Fast straight out of the box, suspension design is excellent for my style and type of riding. 6ft drop to flat and it didnt bottom out! (The bike saved me cause I wasnt paying as much attention as I should have been!). I rate this as very good value for money for what the bike can do, just need my skills to improve to get the most from it. I dragged this around the red route at Gisburn then sessioned the DH, there's not many DH specific bikes that would allow this! Weaknesses: I've read a lot of bad reviews of the Boxxer race and to be honest mine works fine. I had the correct springs (for my weight 98KG) etc put in prior to buying. It took a few hours to bed in but now feels fantastic. Would like more adjustability but can certainly live for now without it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Carlton Bank Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $3400.00 Purchased At: Trek Dealer, Ripon Similar Products Used: Kona Stinky with Long Travel Plates and 888's up front. Bike Setup: Standard except M545 pedals and correctly sprung and oil weighted front and rear.

a Downhiller Date Reviewed: October 21, 2010 Strengths: Suspension - offered components for the money - perfectly ready to blast of a mountain straight from the box. Weaknesses: No real points, one thing I find a little sad is that it's a bit of a drag to get the wheels out to put it back into the car. You always need a key for that. But that's not really a weakness, since it makes it unbeleavably stiff. Fork could be a bit more progressive, but that's normal - after all it's the entry level boxxer. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $3200.00 Purchased At: Singletrack Bikepart Similar Products Used: Commencal Pasta Power, weekend on a Commencal Supreme and a Intense 951. Bike Setup: Stock - only changed the pedals. Considered changing the springs in the fork, but after it was ridden in, even these were allright.
