from Las Vegas, NVDate Reviewed: June 2, 2009
Strengths: A big bike that's truly 'all mountain', adjustable rear travel (I've always had it at 200mm), buttery fork, frame is low maintenance and just about indestructible, high bottom bracket makes pedaling over obstacles (like rocks on Bootleg's SkyLine trail) practically bash-lessWeaknesses: Bit on the heavy side, Ruktion cranks too spongy, stuck chainguide too loud because of it has no ball bearings (just metal on metal), I bend the rear der. hanger all the time (very hard to bend back) but that's just because I drop the bike a lot, long chainstays make the bike hard to manual, plus higher-than-normal chainstays hit my ankle (I now wear an ankle guard)Bottom Line: If you want a full-on downhill bike there's better out there, but if your riding involves a mix of DH and pedaling (which mine does) you'll love this bike. I cruise through trees, berms, ledges, rock gardens, and drops and have no problem keeping up with friends on their DH bikes, and when pedaling is involved I disappear. I call this my 'redemption' bike, because it allows me to slay trails I sucked at on my M3. Add a 4" Gravity Dropper and you'll have THE perfect bike for trails like Moab's Porcupine Rim.

from New Brunswick CanadaDate Reviewed: February 2, 2009
Strengths: Super strong, go anywhere, can pedal uphill reasonably, suprisingly nimble downhill, love the suspension travel when you need it. Really good looking bike.(the graphics package looks hot on the white bike)Weaknesses: Gravity bikes are 10 lbs heavier than trailbikes but you don't have to worry about breaking. Your legs just get stronger and you lose 10 lbs off your waist! You may want higher end suspension if you are a crazy person, but the stock suspension is more than enough for someone who does not want to end up in a wheelchair.Bottom Line: The 7 and 8 inch suspension travel and nimble frame geomentry are confidence inspiring(also lots of adjustability) and you realize why it is called a freeride bike(go anywhere you damn well feel like). Upgrade to the perp 3 if you have more testosterone than brains.
Favorite Trail: backwoods trails, anything that looks interesting

Strengths: Can take any hit, likes to go fast down anything, great through tight cornersWeaknesses: I went through two derailleurs in two rides. Could of been the set up.Bottom Line: This the bike I was waiting for and the world. It is amazing when you buy a bike and you can say anything bad about it. Except for the derailleur problem which has been corrected. This bike is just awesome!!! I have taken my bike down 4 - 9 foot drops, fast down hill trails and fast burms. Wow what a bike. I love when know body can keep up with me know.
