from Utah Date Reviewed: July 5, 2011 Strengths: Strong bike as long as you keep it well maintained, and as long as you treat it well. Feels well balanced in the air. A very good entry level dirt jumper for a good price, that you can easily upgrade as you progress. I dont know where those idiots paid over a thousand dollars for it, its obviously not worth that just looking at the components. But for a good price i would definelty recommend it. Weaknesses: A little on the heavy side, lose the gro and cut the steerer tube down a little, cut the extra long seatpost,maybe find a slimmer seat to save weight. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: I street Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $275.00 Purchased At: Used 2nd owner Similar Products Used: Transition Trail or park, jamis DJ, Blackmarket DJ's, Specialized p1. Bike Setup: Stock frame, cranks, sprocket, and stem, Marzocchi Dirt Jam fork, Atomlab bars,sun rims ditch whiches, primo pedals, straight cable, cut steerer tube down and seatpost, transition seat, kenda k-rad tires.

from Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Date Reviewed: November 8, 2009 Strengths: A strong (cro-mo) frame with good drop outs. For a second hand bike at around $200 it comes well specd, altough you get what you pay for on entry level bikes. Weaknesses: Gyro - ditch it and run a single cable to the rear. Improved brake performance by 50% right away - the gyro is a selling point, but not practical. Forks - not bad for the price and have stood up well so far (im 90kg) - but dont expect them to run well for long 9especially if you are heavier) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: second hand from eba Similar Products Used: STP, P1, craftworks rail Bike Setup: stock - swapped the gyro out for odyssey rear cable, lock on grips
