from Sunny, FL, USA Date Reviewed: October 8, 2009 Strengths: Simply put, this is a bomb proof frame and has handled anything and everything I have thrown at it, from gnarly fast and furious DH runs to hucking it off 15' to 20' drops. Mine was custom built by a pro racing bike mechanic so it did not have all the stock components. I elected to go with a 180mm travel single crown fork, but I do have the heavy 203mm travel 888 dual crown fork on the side (not a Boxxer fan). If you want reliability and a great ride without the hefty coin, then this is the ride for you. Weaknesses: None that I have noticed or important enough to post, but of course I do not have any stock components either. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Santos (any extreme riding) Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: IH Aniki, Sinister R9, Mongoose BDT (black diamond triple) Bike Setup: 180mm single crown fork, '07 Progressive 5th Element cvt5, WTB Speeddisc & Laserdisc DH wheels w/Formula Hubs, Truvativ DH cranks, E.13 chainguide & bashguard, 2.5 Kenda Nevegal DH casing tires, Hayes 9 FR fluid brakes, Sram X-9 drive train, etc. etc.

from Space Coast, FL Date Reviewed: February 18, 2009 Strengths: This is one awesome FR/DH MTB at a very reasonable price for the budget minded individuals. It takes one hell of a beating, big hits, and lands smoothly on big drops. I love it! I got this to replace my heavy DH specific Sinister R9. Weaknesses: My Yakuza was custom built by a pro world cup bike mechanic, so I have had no issues with my MTB. I do know that the Marzzochi dual crown forks that come stock with this MTB are very heavy. I have a 180mm single crown fork on mine. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Santos, Fruit Trail Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Custom Built Similar Products Used: '06 Yakuza Aniki FR/DH Bike Setup: Basics: 17" frame (chrome polish finish), 180mm single crown fork, 5th Element cvt 5 rear shock with piggy back, 203mm rotors F/R w/Hayes 9 DH brakes
