Date Reviewed: March 2, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | Sunpeaks XC track | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Caps in Abbotsford | | Strengths: | Smoooooooooooth... allows you to climb past all the hardtail boys in the saddle. Sprints like a demon | | Weaknesses: | a touch heavy but careful parts selection fixes that | | Similar Products Used: | no fs, but a 22 pound Rocky Mountain and a old GT. Both were crap, one for being the status quo (where I live) and the other for being crap | | Bike Setup: | 97 Szasbo, 98 Manitou SX carbon/ti's, XTR all around except for the front derailure and shifters, Fiber flight/517/XTR wheels, thompson stem and post, time pedals, the list goes on | | Bottom Line: | The absolute bomb for racing. People can say whatever they want about URT, but I am a believer. This bike hooks up over everything. I can accelerate over rooty climbs that I would have walked on my Hardtail. It's a little beefy at 24.5 pounds, but its all unsprung weight so it doesn't mean Jack. Some courses I would still prefer a hardtail, but for most conditions this thing can't be beat. TRY SOMETHING NEW!!! Don't look to the status quo right away when you are looking for a bike... Its way better to be riding something that everyone else isn't.
