from Eugene, OR Date Reviewed: March 5, 2007 Strengths: Solid build quality. Great looks. Stable Platform by Manitou REALLY works. This bike is only 5-10% slower than my Trek Fuel 98 which weighs 10 pounds lighter! It pedals uphill very well and I have no problems pedalling aggressively for 10 miles and more! It is a very smooth All-Mountain bike. All of the components are very adequate in quality - other similarly equipped bikes cost $200-500 more! Weaknesses: A little too upright. Front fork (Manitou Stance) is very soft, albeit supple. Unfortunately, the only way to increase the compression is through a spring swapout. Top tube is a little short in length for my liking. Shimano Hollowtech cranks are probably the cheapest part of this bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Noon-Day Trail Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1000.00 Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: Trek Fuel 98, Norco Team DH, Specialized BigHit, Foes Weasel, Haro Escape 7.3 Bike Setup: Manitou Stance fork (150mm), Manitou Metal shock (150/170mm), Hayes Nines with 8" rotors, Alex Rims DP20, Deore/LX. 37 pounds overall.

from Halifa, West Yorks, UK Date Reviewed: August 31, 2006 Strengths: The frame is really good, strong due to all the gussets and thick welds. this doesnt mean its heavy because it isnt at all. infact its quite light for a freeride or downhill bike. Weaknesses: Rear shock (Manitou Metel). i dont know if this is a weekness because ive got a 450 spring on and idealy i should have a 650. So testing the platform will come when i fit my new spring.
