from Hawaii Date Reviewed: November 27, 2006 Strengths: Nice little touches like teflon coated cables. And the upgrade to the DT 440 rr hub. Pretty good part spec. I now try to ride bigger and better things. Oddly enough, the seat is really comfy. Weaknesses: Heavy. HEAVY. HEAVY!!!!!!! Very tall front end (with reducer cups and Syncros headset). Had to mess with the 66 fork oil weight/level for about a month till it felt good. OS handlebar and stem. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: First long travel dualie. Other bike is a Yeti 575. Bike Setup: 2006 Model. Swapped out the Hussafelt crankset for a Saint (no real reason) and the Hussafelt chain guide for an Evil DRS (just because it's a good product). Running a Cane Creek 1.5" to 1 1/8" reducer, RF Diablous stem and bar. Platform pedals.

from Switzerland Date Reviewed: December 5, 2005 Strengths: Rock-solid frame which offers plenty of travel AND at the same time a very manouvrable geometry for technical trails. Very plush rear-suspension. Very little pedal-feedback (for a single-pivot design). Single-pivot design is simple and works great: 2 FR-seasons without any maintenance and still almost no play. 2004er model is still light enough to do some uphill / CC-touring. Telescopic seatpost works fine. 1.5" steerer tube is a great idea - just a pity Marzocchi & Fox-engineers are not allowed to admit it! Weaknesses: Transforms you from a serious CC-rider into a speed-addicted, shuttle dependent DH-racer! Other weaknesses of the 2004 model (seem to be improved in the 2005 model): Wheels/rims are made of cheese. Manitou Sherman Breakout Plus has too much stiction on small bumps. Plastic fenders are ridicolous (but can be taken off). Rear Hub (XT) is not up to the challenge. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Double Header Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: a shop in switzerland Similar Products Used: GT LTS-1. Bike Setup: Everything standard, except: - Maxxis Minion 2.5" DH-tyres - FSA DH-stem - Mavic DeeMax wheels

from Memphis, TN, US Date Reviewed: August 5, 2005 Strengths: Nice strong frame, good shock placement for smooth travel and little pedal feedback Manitou's One-Point-Five stuff if awesome, so much stiffer than the standard 1 1/8 steerer tubes, the coils that come in the Sherman Breakout+ are rated a little soft so I installed a stiffer coil and have not bottomed it out yet. XT cranks and r. der. are nice for cross country bikes, but I bent the r. der. within 25 rides, outboard bottom bracket cups make the drive-train noticebly stiffer Fox DHX 4.0 is super chee and when the pro pedal is properly set up pedal strokes seem close to a hard tail. Overall component specs. are great but for roughly the same price you can rig the bike with Shimano's new Hone kit, gain 2 pounds on the overall weight, and gain some much needed component reinforcement. Weaknesses: Components do not match the style of riding this bike was built for Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything scary Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: testing through my shop, Outdoors Inc. Similar Products Used: Canondale Gemini Marzochii fr sl Rock Shock Pike Bike Setup: DHX 4.0- 850# coil Sherman Breakout+ OnePointFive- xx-stiff coil E-13 bashgaurd in place of big ring Shimano Hone r. der., hubs, brakes, levers FSA dh stem Syncros mental pedals (they're the reason why I can't ride right now- always wear shingaurds with these guys, don't try to be hard)

from Switzerland Date Reviewed: May 2, 2005 Strengths: Very strong. Very Fast. Goes anywhere. I don't have to think, just point my tyres and go. It's built like a tank, looks awesome. Good round bends. Good job because your going faster when you hit them. Good balance. Nice seat post adjustment (Can't wait to an automatic adjusting one though!). I like it very much and immediatley fell in love with it. Simpler construction than some other bikes. Good travel on rear. Can manage my weight. Nice strong components. No play, but I had to reseat the front stearing as it was not put together at the shop properly. Brake seems fine. Nice big diameter so I guess that help slow you down. No sure about the front fork yet. But it has not broken yet. Don't want to ride my old bikes again. I like to sit on it naked and gentley move my hand around it's smooth curvey frame. Weaknesses: The biggest problem and same with most bikes: It rattles like hell when coming fast down hills. Chain came off too. It's a fast bike, more downhill than up so I think it would of been better with chain rollers (Or what ever they are called). For my big feet the pedal is a little close to the frame, so my heal catches. You need to be fit and strong if you want to peddle up hill as it's heavy and the high gear ratio is not quite so high. I buckled the back wheel slightly so the brake is catching. But I always do this. The chain protector is too small, so the frame is already badly chipped. :-( Slightly worried about the forks, somehow they don't seem as reassuring as say a Fox fork which just oozes quality and is much smoother. A bit dissappointed with the adjustment, the height adjust works fine, but the rebound and stiffness adjusters seem to make little difference. The plastic mud guard looks a bit tacky. And I'd like to scrub out the decals, so it looks more steathly and functional. The engine sucks. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Regensberg Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $4000.00 Purchased At: Herger of Zurich Bike Setup: Put a longer seat on so I can sit further back. Made the rear suspension much firmer by turner the spring down and pumping loads of air into the compression cylynder as I'm 100kg+. Not at lot can be done with the front shocks.
