a Downhiller
from Salida, CO, USA Date Reviewed: September 12, 2007 Strengths: The frame looks like a beast, but I am 6'4 and got an appropriately sized bike so it is a beast, but the frame is suprising light and gives me no problem riding it uphill, or throwing it over my shoulders when things get too steep. Weaknesses: Definitely the seat!!! Horribly uncomfortable Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: "Uncle Nasty" Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1069.00 Purchased At: Absolute Bikes, Salida CO Similar Products Used: None, this one is in a class of it's own.

from San Jose, Ca. USA Date Reviewed: January 26, 2006 Strengths: This is a fairly light bike for the travel it has. The rear shock is really adjustable and not too difficult to set up. The frame seems to be stiff enough for my riding style and could do some real big drops if you are into that. I have changed out some of the components for higher end so I can't comment on the brakes, levers, shifters, tires, saddle, stem and bars. Man thats a lot of upgrades, I had them on another bike. This bike handles very quick because of the head angle and that is a plus for me cause I like aggressive single track and technical downhill stuff. 1.5" headset availability. Weaknesses: Seat cannot go all the way down or the post will rip up the shock. Marzocchi All Mountain 3's are not very adjustable so you are stuck with whatever compression settings are built ito the fork (I emailed Marzocchi and found out that this fork cannot be upgraded). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Santa Teresa Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Traded for my Piranha Similar Products Used: Jamis Dakar Expert, Dirt works Piranha, Speciaized Hardrock, Raleigh m7000 and a Pro Flex Beast. Bike Setup: Stock LX wheelset and crankset. Xt everything else. Maxxis Minion DH super tacky 2.35" rear and Tioga Yellow Kirin 2.3" in front. Marzocchi fork and Manitou Swinger 3 way shock in rear(both stock). Easton Monkey Light DH carbon bars and stem. WTB V saddle.

from ISRAEL Date Reviewed: July 18, 2005 Strengths: Front Fork: MARZOCCHI MARZOCCHI MARZOCCHI - should i say more !!?? Rear: The manitou swinger SPV is a known success, Altough the frame is a single pivot system the Swinger kills the BOB !! FRAME: The sticker says Super Light - The sticker is Correct - Trust the sticker !!! RIMS + WHEELS: The wheels are 2.35 from scott and the rims are ALEX DP20, I'm not a veteran FR but the tires stick to the ground in turns like a baby sticks to his mother's.... Weaknesses: Seat: This is Scott's progressive seat and i do reccomend you make a progress and change to something a bit more comfortable (WTB or bontrager) HUBS: I don't know why i put this under weaknesses but 2 of my friends warned me the LX hubs won't last very long - We shall see ! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Very Very Very far from where you live ! Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $2600.00 Purchased At: local dealer Similar Products Used: TREK FUEL, GIANT NRS and a few rides on a SC Heckler Bike Setup: Just check Scott's Site, I didn't change a thing from the firm's specs
