from Truckee, California Date Reviewed: January 18, 2011 Strengths: Mongoose 2006 Black Diamond Single. Definitely a bang for the buck deal! - Marzocchi Drop Off 3 - Solid Crank set - Sun Ditch Witch Wheel set- People are saying they are crap but they actually are pretty F*'n good (nice and light) - Manitou Metel RP - As long as you don't go off drops that are more then 6 feet it's pretty sweet - Shifters and drive train system rock and are very smooth -Bike offers a very solid ride and can take on any terrain you push it up or down. Weaknesses: - Only one complaint... Shifters are good, but do need adjustments a bit more often then others - Overall bike frame is pretty heavy: Weighing at 38-40lb Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Downyville Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $850.00 Purchased At: Second hand - Craigs Similar Products Used: Rocky Mountain Switch, Kona Coilair Bike Setup: Stock

from Yonkers, New York Date Reviewed: December 11, 2010 Strengths: Well thought out frame geometry Weaknesses: Biggest concern was the headset coming loose. Kept tightening but didn't do any good. The back shock started leaking after a few runs (replaces it with FOX DHX). Don't even get me started on the breaks. When you need them most they don't work (need to replace them).

from Mass. Date Reviewed: August 28, 2007 Strengths: Everything! The bike is light considering how tough it is. The bike is incredibly fast on the DH, I've raced Intense M-3's that don't feel like this. I also have taken this on long and intense all-day all-mountain/freeriding rides, and it feels great doing this as well. The bike soaks up big hits without and worries, and is as nimble as a dirt jumping bike. Weaknesses: None, I can't complain! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $1499.00 Purchased At: Online Similar Products Used: Intense M-3, Intense Uzzi, Foes DHS, Ellsworth moment Bike Setup: Rock Shox Totem, Full XT drivetrain, Avid Juicy 7's, Mavic Deemax wheelset.

from NH, USA Date Reviewed: June 8, 2006 Strengths: Climbs surprisingly well, especially short, steep, technical sections. You can definitely tell that Eric Carter played a role in its design! It's super fast on nasty DH and corners like a roller coaster. The bike handles big drops and jumps exceptionally well. I keep the travel full (7.5 inches) and keep the SPV adjustment almost all the way maxed out. Oh Yea, the bike is NOT heavy like everybody else is complaining about- it weighs less than 36lbs. Quit you're moaning and get a pair! Weaknesses: The 8 speed drivetrain is a bit weak. I'm used to a 9 speed and will be switching it over soon. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Lynn Woods Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1100.00 Purchased At: Internet Store Similar Products Used: Intense M3, Giant Faith, Norco Six One Bike Setup: 2.5 WTB Timberwolf tires, all else stock for now.
