from Hickory NC USA Date Reviewed: October 4, 2010 Strengths: It definitely felt like a 7 inch bike, very nimble, pedaled great, it loved to go fast. Weaknesses: I broke at the headtube. The rear end had lots of flex side to side. Not happy with the costumer service. They dint make anything right even though I broke 2 of their frames at the headtube. Its a good bike for trail riding but nothing else.

from Spokane WA US Date Reviewed: December 3, 2008 Strengths: Thsi bike is very solid all around. The first thing that stuck out to me was how well it jumped. This bike boosts off dirt jumps and is really fun in the air. The frame is solid and there is no flex. Perfect bike for all freeriding. Weaknesses: maybe a little heavy for a 5.5 travel bike. But other than that if you use it for what its intended to be used for its perfect.

from Auckland, New Zealand Date Reviewed: July 21, 2008 Strengths: Geometry is spot on. Bike rails so well, jumps nicely, takes drops without any flex. Great balance on skinnys. Feels perfect down step shutes, and technical downhills. Weaknesses: 5.5 inches of travel means that you feel what is going on (which is part of the appeal). Paint wants to wear out in a hurry.
