Date Reviewed: September 24, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Hawes Loop | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Strengths: | The RBX/5 is made with Alcoa 6061 and 3/2.5 titainum as well. Passive pivot design. Full 5" of rear wheel travel.
Short rear wheel base makes this bike a climber. | | Weaknesses: | No disk-brake tabs. | | Similar Products Used: | Titus, Rocky Mountain, and Marin | | Bike Setup: | XT, cross-country, 5"travel RST fork. | | Bottom Line: | Cross-country bike that flys. Climbs like a hard-tail and decends like a down-hill machine. Can be built up very light. A bike for the rider that likes the feel of a hard-tail, but would like rear-suspension. Conejo did their home-work on this one. Check it out..... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

solid frame, nice and lively, easy to repair if needed, simple | | Weaknesses: |
a little on the heavy side | | Similar Products Used: |
Trek Y22 | | Bike Setup: |
RCR Components T1 | | Bottom Line: | This bike is unreal. The amazing thing is that because the distance beteen the seat and the drive train never changes, it feels like your're on a hard tail - but sitting in a big lazy boy. The only way you know the shocks working is the plush ride. It's awesome. Climbs and handles technical trails with precision and soaks up the big hits. Even though I've only had a few rides on his bike - I'll be keeping her for a long time. | | Overall Rating: |
