Submitted by Evan a from Australia
Date Reviewed: March 24, 2003
Favorite Trail:secret ones
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Strengths:Awesome. This frame is one of the strongest you can buy, its gusseted all over, has FAT tubing, strong bearings in all the pivot points, basically it kicks ass!
Weaknesses:The only weakness i have found is the weight but thats just the way i have it set up.
Bottom Line:I bought the 1999 model frame for about $400usd and built it up over time using parts i already had and some new ones.
After 2 years, and two really bad rear shocks that shall remain nameless) i have just got a DNM ST10rc and it is kicking ass.
Anyone looking for a DH bike should get one of these, the value for money is HUGE, and the ride quality is even bigger.

BUY ONE!

Similar Products Used:You name it.
Bike Setup:Super-T, Hayes, SUV wheelset, Titec everything...
Bottom Line:It had a nice hint of over-steer, but not the extreme over-steer that robs speed and time, it was very linear travel that seemed to be sprung right stock.
