$2200.00 | | Purchased At: | a guy with a trenchcoat | | Strengths: | this bike is strong. way too strong. soo strong when i sent a pack of wild rabid monkey too destroy it they all came back with castst and slings. well maybe that didn't exactly happen. but i did have monkeys. but seriously this frame is strong enough to go through parked cars elephants and small countries in a wink.
its bullet, bomb and nuke proof. | | Weaknesses: | it's heavy and i mean heavy. this is not a bike for some f...ing weight weener. if you looking for an xc bike look somewere else. but if your looking for a bike thats as fast as a freight train and nimble as a mountain goat get this bike. also the paint (lime green) isn't my favorite | | Similar Products Used: | super 8, rm6, stinky primo, and vps1. (beats them all) | | Bike Setup: | 8 inch hayes mag, sun double wide, risse jupiter 5, marzocchi shivers, race face components. | | Bottom Line: | this bike is the chits, its awsome. when gouing down hills its like a freightrain glued to the line like its on rails. handles harcore freriding on sik flat landings. great four bar linkage (specialized horstlink). i love this bike. we tried dating for a while but it didn't work out (it put out too much) if you know what i mean!!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$225.00 | | Purchased At: | Shady friend (the best kind) | | Strengths: | Stronger then my moms deoderant, taste good too. There is a certain good feeling you get when riding a frame, that you don't need to worry about it breaking when you drop 8 ft onto pavement in Montreal. Works great in the woods too, but abit heavy, but thats what you get for a DH bike. | | Weaknesses: | Shock mounts that has too many useless positions that could in the future break your shock if you don't whatch out. | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing, it's that strong! | | Bike Setup: | Super T #26, Raceface cranks, Hayes Brake in front, Maguara in the rear, big tires, Azoinic bar, Tioga DH seat, coolest custom machined stem from a friend (NIck.D you the man), XT derailleur, basically DH seatup with a bit of (crazy) city riding style throwen in. | | Bottom Line: | If you need a rip off of an M-1 Intense frame that 's half the price but probably just as strong(mabye even more so). Alittle heavy but who cares it's a DH frame, not a piece of XC crap. Offence meant, to all of the weight concious freaks who polluted the sport with breakable, utralight purple, stuff. Anyways, it's a great bike for the money, and for the Americians who wish to ride like Canadians should purchase such a crude, but rather overbuilt frame. This is a strong, forgiving frame with lots of travel options; race it, use it in the city to jump parked cars, use it in the woods, but for god's sake get out and ride.Warning to all those who ride a multi-pivot frame like this one, oil thoose pivots, bearings,or whatever you have, frequently. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 29, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | everything at bromont | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | BEEFY, STRONG, GOOD ANGLES | | Weaknesses: | FUKKIN HEAVY | | Similar Products Used: | LOBO, GIANT ATX-1, SUPER 8, KONA STAB PRIMO, M-1, EVERYTHING | | Bike Setup: | MONSTER-T, HAYES, RISSE JUPITER-05, SUNRIM DOUBLEWIDES, HUTCHINSON JUMBOS, RACEFACE SRACKSET, RACEFACE HANDLEBARS | | Bottom Line: | UNEXPENSIVE, BEEFY, STRONG BUT VERY VERY HEAVY. IT CAN PLOW THROUGH ANYTHING AND IT HAS AMAZING ANGLES. ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES ABOUT THIS BIKE IS THE MULTI-ANGLE SUSPENSION SETUPS AT THE REAR END, THEY HAVE MULTIPLE WAYS OF POSITIONING THE REAR SHOCK AND ONLY ONE OF THESE POSITIONS IS A GOOD ONE, ALL THE OTHER POSITIONS WILL CREATE STRESS ON THE SHOCK AND BRAKE IT, I BBROKE 4 SHOCKS THIS SEASON TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE GOOD POSITION FOR THE SHOCK. TRY POSITIONING THE SHOCK AS HORIZONTAL AS POSSIBLE.
