from Los Angeles, CA, US Date Reviewed: March 9, 2005 Strengths: Frame, shock, parts mix (mostly.) Fork is lo-brow but pimpable. Price. Weaknesses: Wheelset maybe, the hubs look a bit weak. Fork is kinda low end, but I'm told that it's upgradable to JrT or SuperT internals since the basic tubes/sliders are the same... so I guess that makes it a strength too in a way. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1480.00 Purchased At: Supergo Similar Products Used: AC-2, Super-V Bike Setup: Bone stock so far... I just got it.

from Virginia Date Reviewed: November 26, 2004 Strengths: Frame, Wheels, Handelbar, cranks, Shock. Weaknesses: Fork (Harsh for drops and downhilling plus no rebound adjuster so that solution is out and it has speed sensative valving so changing the oil wont do anything, so you basically have to get a new fork to race downhill seriously Plus it has no thru axle so it is not very stiff)) Seatpost (bolt brakes and seatpoost loosens making seat fall off) pedals (bearings suck and they offer no grip) Tires (terrible for wet conditions get some WTB wierwolfs they have the best grip for any condition) Mud Clearence (mud and 2 inch thick piles of leaves get stuck in it) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pats Inferno Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $1875.00 Purchased At: Pedal n Spoke (RIP) Similar Products Used: same as last time Bike Setup: stock except for Mrp slalom chain guide, Odi lock on grips, WTB Wierwolf tires (Best tires ever for any application)
