Submitted by John a Cross Country Rider from Tucson, AZ
Date Reviewed: April 24, 2003
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $850.00
Purchased At:manufacturer rep
Strengths:Stiff, handles like it is on rails, killer looks and bhullet proof.
Weaknesses:Shock mounting location a bit cramped. No big deal.
Similar Products Used:Tomac 98 Special Pro, Specialized Enduro, Trek Fuel, GT I-drive
Bike Setup:Medium FXC frame, 'Zoke Marathon 100 fork, XT/XTR/Race Face drivetrain, Hayes HFX-9's, Easton bars, post and stem, Sun DS1-XC's w/ XT hubs.
Bottom Line:This bike kicks ass. Best handling FS bike I have ridden so far. Climbs awesome and it feels like it has more travel than it does. BB set-up took a little time, but it was no problem. I love this thing..period.

Favorite Trail:angeles crest firetails
Duration Product Used:Tested or demo'ed only
Price Paid: $1500.00
Purchased At:Foes Fab Racing
Strengths:Lets think about this........Foes Fab are the most bulletproof bikes made. Their suspensions are a thing of beauty and dont go wrong. I test rode my bike before I bought it and I cant wait for it to get here next week.
Weaknesses:When reviewing Foes Fab products does this box really apply? Let me think about it. Ok, still thinking, nope cant think of anything.
Similar Products Used:Diamondback cx bike, Foes Fab Weasel, Custom Foes Fab
Bike Setup:Older bikes are all rock shop, grip shift and shimano XT, my new XC has a full XTR setup and FOX front and rear shocks. I am still deciding whether or not to change to disc brakes as not many xc riders use this setup
Bottom Line:I will write another review in a few weeks after I get back from Mammoth and a few college races that I am riding in. I am sure the bike is all that I expect and then some.
