The Implant is built from a custom Reynolds 853, DH-rated, tube set. It has a massive, full-wrap, top tube-head tube-down tube gusset. It also features oversized wishbone and chainstay sub-assemblies. When fully assembled and operated by sufficiently trained individuals the Implant is capable of functioning in a variety of roles.

Duration Product Used:
More than 3 years
Price Paid:
$3000.00
Purchased At:
The Ridge
Strengths:
This bike is strong without being too heavy. Had a Generation, which is more XC and broke it a couple of times. Handles like a dream and takes a beating. Looks good too.
Weaknesses:
None that I could find.
Similar Products Used:
Dekerf Generation, Rocky Mountain Vertex.
Bike Setup:
Freeride.
Bottom Line:
Costs a bit extra but worth every penny. If you like freeride, North Shore type riding on a hardtail, this is a great bike for you. I'd be hard pressed to break it. If you do, it's steel, so it can be fixed.
