Date Reviewed: January 12, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | porcupine rim (Moab) | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | | | Bottom Line: | I had a 1999 FSR and the bolt that connected the RS Deluxe rear shock to the frame snapped (the frame was bent beyond repair). Specialized replaced that frame with a 2000 FSR XC. They called it an "upgrade", but a lightweight XC bike with barely 3 inches of travel is not an upgrade for a 215 lb. freerider who wanted to upgrade the rear suspension through Mountainspeed. The stiff, wimpy travel of a Fox air shock combined with plastic bushings gave me whiplash over the smallest hits (it felt like a hard tail over medium to large hits). The rear linkage on the FSR XC did not allow a substantial aftermarket upgrade. Needless to say, this "upgrade" failed when I discovered the chainstay had cracked in FOUR places. I wonder if the four-bar linkage is the strongest way to set up the rear suspension? It seems to have too many stress points to handle hardcore riding. Specialized replaced the chainstay and willingly agreed to replace the FSR XC with a 2001 Enduro with a Fox Float RC. Specialized was understanding and corrected the mistake they had made when they sent me the FSR XC, but took almost SIX months getting it to me. I would give Specialized a "D+" in customer service, and this is an important factor when deciding who to buy a bike from. I love the performance of the FSR, BUT wonder if the THIRD warranty bike will last. To be continued... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

I rode an FSR until recently and its a competent bike sold by a lame company. My frameset arrived poorly assembled, with a missing part, and a bad rear shock. Specialized begrudgingly, and slowly sent the missing part to the dealer. They wouldn’t replace or exchange the shock even though it was new. The dealer had to send the shock out for repair which took awhile. I wrote Specialized a letter and never got a reply. This is the firm that was undercutting its own dealers by selling bikes through COSTCO. One chili is generous. | | Overall Rating: |

I am new to the sport, and the Specialized FSR is my first real mountain. I find it to be an absolute bargain, and without a doubt, the best bang for your buck. The front suspension is a little soft for my weight, but I weigh more then the average rider. The bike is very straight forward to adjust, and easy to maintain. Performance is outstanding, and I hope to that someday I am good enough to need a better bike (but that would have to be really really good). | | Overall Rating: |

I bought a '97 Ground Control FSR about 4 months ago. Test rode numerous other FS bikes in all price ranges ...This is the best riding of all after replacing the piece of sh-t Judy with a '98 Manitou SX-R ... also changed to XT
shifters & front derailer, 747 pedals & an Azonic downhill bar ( about $1700 as equipped from LBS ). This bike is very adjustable. After proper set up it is plush on chattery stepped downhills, doesn't bob, really digs in when climbing, & tears up single track. Why buy a bike that lifts the back wheel when attempting to climb, is scary squirrely descending, has a spaghetti frame that breaks the first time you land after catching some monster air, or beats you to death because of terribly ineffective suspension designs. I'm a big fan of smaller independent builders, but I must give credit where credit is due. Specialized used the enormous resources they have to bring a line of bikes to the market ('97-'98 FSR) that have NONE of these drawbacks.{OK, it is a little heavy. But at 205 lbs I'm not into ounce shaving} Try one, but beware, you will want to own one too. Ride on!!! | | Overall Rating: |

I absolutly love my FSR. It is very comfortable and super stable in a wide variety of conditions. The rear triangle is plenty stiff even for my 225lbs and I don't notice the whippyness that others have felt in the front triangle. The bike is a little heavy and probably not the best for racing (although I have been somewhat successful racing on it) but it makes a great cross country recreational bike. I have changed the rear shock to a Risse Elroy which helped bring alot of suppleness to the rear end of the bike. For those of you wanting a more supple ride try the risse.

This was a nice frame, but not for me. The bike does not work with the shape and weight of my body, i'm 6' w/a 35 inseam and 200 lbs. wet. This bike a decent climber, but nothing specatcular; the chainstays, at 16.9 were too long for me. And the front triangle was too flexy, but the rear was stiff-no wagging back there. The shock that comes with the bike is the Fox Alps4 for my '94 vintage. It's a good big hit shock, not very supple though. Supple is what i was looking for....The main reason it didn't work out was due to the flex in the front traingle.
