Date Reviewed: January 24, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | TE | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | East Side | | Strengths: | Its handling, its looks, its overall first impression it leaves you with | | Weaknesses: | i wouldnt expect one for the high price of this frameset and foes gave me nothing to groan about | | Similar Products Used: | Cortina Dh8, Marin Team dh, Karpiel Armageddon, Devinci Big bang, Balfa bb7 | | Bike Setup: | 2000 Foes DHS Tube , 2000 Xvert carbon , Cane creek dh crono , full xtr , risse jupiter 5R rear shock, AC guide plus crank | | Bottom Line: | By far my favortie bike ive ever had and ive had all the ones listed above. Its looks were the first thing that drew me to the foes. But looks arent everything and in this case it proved just so. The bike handles extremely well and the fork match up is only that made by a greater mind. The foes tube is bang on from the rear swingarm stiffness to the overall suspension feel and activation. Foes has definitely sold me on future lineups with just one bike. I can see why all of the top riders are currently set up with foes dh rigs . What more can i say ?

This is a fantastis frame. While it mite not be quite as reactive as the M1 SL, the Slammer more than makes up for this when you consider that it is $500 cheaper, WAAAAY stiffer, and comes with a chain guide. The steeper and rougher the terain gets, the more at home this bike is. | | Overall Rating: |
