from Mt. Shasta, CA, USA Date Reviewed: June 4, 2010 Strengths: All round awesome... the look, the feel, the response, Feels like a professional bike, but cheaper! The first trail I did with this bike was Livewire at Northstar Resort at Tahoe. The bike was so smooth and cleared the jumps effortlessly. for those of you who don't know what I am talking about, Livewire is basically a trail dedicated to a series of doubles and tables, averaging around 8-10 feet. This bike is also great for Downhill. Weaknesses: some of the stock materials that came with it were...well...like most other cheap stock components. Although the Rock Shox Domains are awesome forks, you can't adjust the hardness of them, unless you go out and buy a harder spring. no quick adjustmens on top of the shock, just the rebound located on the bottom. Even this needs a special tool to work them not too fond of the stock derailleur either, hard to make it shift how you want it to. maybe that was just my specific deraileur. I've been abusing the bike, and have not had it tuned for a while Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: EZBJ Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $2000.00 Purchased At: Mt. Ashland Similar Products Used: Jamis Dakar Bam II, Haro x7, my norco was better than any of these bikes Bike Setup: stock

from Edmonton, AB Date Reviewed: September 7, 2009 Strengths: The bike is suspension is bullet proof for me so far. It was very easy to dial in. It pedals quite well and I use this bike to commute also. The WTB wheelset is amazing to me. It has taken everything I can give it and the wheels still spin true. Weaknesses: Brakes. The Hayes brakes that came with it rub and they are hard to modulate. This will probably go away as I learn more about them cause this is my first bike with disk brakes. The stock Alivio derailleurs are a bit clunky and even after extensive tuning I can't get them to shift the way I want them to. I want to change these as I'm and SRAM fan. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything nobody else will ride Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1000.00 Purchased At: used Similar Products Used: None. Kind of tested a Rocky Mountain Switch and a Banshee Chapparal Bike Setup: Stock '07 Shore 3
