from Mesa, AZ, USADate Reviewed: September 24, 2000
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.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.....
Favorite Trail: Hawes Loop
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years
Similar Products Used: Titus, Rocky Mountain, and Marin
Bike Setup: XT, cross-country, 5"travel RST fork.

Strengths:
solid frame, nice and lively, easy to repair if needed, simpleWeaknesses:
a little on the heavy sideBottom 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.
Favorite Trail:
Cross country, technical
