from Banff Alberta, Canada Date Reviewed: November 11, 2006 Strengths: I bought this as frame only so I'm only commenting on that. First of all, it looks awesome. Now I know that doesn't matter, but it is nice. The attention to small things is nice, for example how the main pivot bearings are clamped in instead of just pressed into a whole and the bolt for the clamp has a replaceable nut instead of being threaded into the frame. The pivot bearings have little aluminum caps so they have a bit more of a seal... even though that makes them a pain to put back in. The quality of paint on it is awesome, I have very few marks on the frame from rocks as it only goes through the clear coat most of the time. The adjustable headtube is nice and the option for 10 or 12mm back hubs Okay, so the imfortant thing. This frame rides amazing, it's like a mini DH bike. I run the headtube at the slackest angle and it makes the bike really stable and predictable. The low bb height makes it rail in corners and the suspension design feels really good with the dhx air. It works great as a small Dh rig but also fits the all mountain bill nicely. I've done some long trail rides on it and the weight and pedaling make it a good all around bike. Weaknesses: the price for the frame is a bit much at retail but you seem to get what you pay for. I had to modify the frame to get my back Hope m4 with 7" rotor to fit since the caliper hit the frame. A minor amount of file work fixed that though... and seriously, who else is going to have that problem? It was a pain in the ass to put my e13 on it but my cranks and using an old guide didn't help. Having my seat post short enough to slam it down all the way means I can't put it up much but it goes high enough for me not to care that much.

from Calgary, Alberta, Canada Date Reviewed: September 8, 2006 Strengths: My bike is a 05' Supreme FR 6.3. It's light, strong, smooth, and balanced in the air and will climb like a X-country when needed. Built quality is there. Adjustable head-tube is nice. Rear suspension is a bit complicated, but works well. Tires work better with less air. ~40 psi. The components are good and haven't given me any problems. (Brakes, drive train, wheels) Even though it's a bottom level model for the Supreme FR series, it's great. Weaknesses: The stock fork set-up is not the best. I traded out the forks for dual clamp, 7 inch travel forks. With the added height and stiffness, there is a big improvement from the stock forks. Not that I had problems with them, I just took advantage of having better forks. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Fernie , B.C. Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $3200.00 Purchased At: Bike Bros. - Cochrane, Alberta Bike Setup: Stock except with junior T's and 1 happy rider.
