Vin Date Reviewed: August 29, 2012 Strengths: Strong as hell! Takes big drops as nothing. Smooth riding and it just wants to be ridden faster and faster. Geometry is very good and since it is adjustable they made it specifically for my needs. Riding has never been better! Although many people say its just a Freeride bike, I'd say they can mind their own business. I've ridden it on many DH tracks and its fast and steady as a Demo - period! Weaknesses: can't think of any by now :) Bottom Line:

from South Lake Tahoe, Ca Date Reviewed: August 13, 2008 Strengths: First real full-suspension; rode Rockhopper Comp for years. Rock solid, cornering takes some getting used to, but overall, very stable. Bike can handle way more than I am capable of dishing out. 8-inch Hayes in the front is killer. Weaknesses: Minor: air nozzle on the Manitou is kind of a pain to access. Other than that...no complaints at all. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Mr. Toads Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1100.00 Purchased At: E-Bay Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Bought bike off e-bay (kinda scary) but worked out OK. Biggest upgrade was the Rock Shox Lyric fork which is awesome. Manitou swinger seems adequate once dialed in. With component change out, bike weighs about 43 pds, which isn't bad.

from CARLSBAD,CA,USA Date Reviewed: March 6, 2008 Strengths: Great frame and geometry. Bought a new 2005 display bike...so I got a great deal. Pedals very well for a heavy freeride bike. Ajustable dropouts a plus too. Weaknesses: The Stance fork is a piece of crap. If I paid 2700.00 dollars or close to it(retail) I would be very pissed that this cheesy fork came on this bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: LIVEWIRE-NORTHSTAR Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1200.00 Purchased At: TREK VISTA Similar Products Used: Giant Faith Bike Setup: Upgraded the fork to a 888RC2X(2007),2008 Sram XO mid cage carbon derailer,Race Face DH hi rise bars,E13 shifting bash guard, crank bros 50\50XX pedals, and Kenda DH tires

from Richfield, Utah Date Reviewed: September 5, 2007 Strengths: Pedals extremely well, better than most. The frame is way burley and will not break on you. Components are good also. Weaknesses: Bike is a little heavy for what you get. Mine is a large and the only thing that is not stock is some slime tubes and mine weighs in at 44.5 lbs. Might be a pound or so lighter without slime tubes. The weight is not such an issue since the bike pedals so well. I have the stock manitou travis fork and it is the major weakness of this bike. It is too soft, I just bought some stiffer springs, so we'll see if it helps.

from England Date Reviewed: November 18, 2006 Strengths: Engineering-wise, the frame is built very well - as you'd expect from a huge bike company - that with the oversized tubing makes the frame very strong. Luckly the bontrager parts are also above average in the strength department. The price - they're not really, really expensive. Weaknesses: Well, all that strength adds weight. Expect a bike heavier than most of todays D.H bikes. And if your serious about really riding one of these - expect to pay out an extra wad of cash for new forks. I chose a set of 170mm Marz 66 rc2x and it changed the feel of the bike completely, also it'll need a chain guide - more money. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year

from Regina Saskatchewan Canada Date Reviewed: October 29, 2006 Strengths: It is a great bike, it can climb up the hill like a xc bike then rip on the way back down. Best bike that I've tried for the price. Weaknesses: Chain falls off when taken to really rough stuff but I'm getting an E13 DRS to take care of that. That's about it.
