Submitted by bobby a Weekend Warrior from butte montana
Date Reviewed: March 29, 2009
Favorite Trail:warrior trail
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $100.00
Purchased At:an auction
Strengths:It holds together really good. I was pretty tough on this bike and it held up great. I did a little bit of everything with it, the fact that it was a hardtail did not stop me! i did everything including downhill,jumping,cross country,and just casual bike rides with my friends.
Weaknesses:The front shocks do not work very good, this might have just been a problem with mine but maybe they are all like that.
Similar Products Used:no similar products
Bike Setup:hardtail with front shocks,they might be spring shocks?
Bottom Line:This is a great bike for a low budget,it handles great and is a great hybrid.

Date Reviewed: October 18, 2005
Favorite Trail:Delta Watershed
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $225.00
Purchased At:Pitt Cycle
Strengths:Solid construction, threadless headset, good tires, brakes work well.
Weaknesses:Rear deraileur, gearing.
Similar Products Used:Department store bikes.
Bike Setup:Stock, but rear deraileur was upgraded to Acera.
Bottom Line:My five year old son has had a lot of fun on this bike. He jumps up to two foot high jumps, does some small drops, and rides over logs up to eight inches in diameter. Weight is reasonable. Bike has held up well except for the factory deraileur, which is made mainly of plastic. Chain kept jumping off, and plastic stops broke from landing jumps. Upgraded deraileur to Acera, and bike has worked like a charm since. Would like to see lower gearing (36 tooth chainring instead of 40 tooth). Overall, nice bike. Good buy for someone who's child is into serious mountain biking.

Submitted by Derek a Weekend Warrior from Aliso Viejo, CA
Date Reviewed: April 30, 2005
Favorite Trail:Coyote Run
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $190.00
Purchased At:The Bike Co.
Strengths:Shimano drivetrain (6 speeds help with climbing). Cool Silver/Black paint job. Light <26lbs alloy frame. 65mm fork.
Weaknesses:None yet.
Similar Products Used:Tested other 20" models from Trek (heavy), Kona (frame too big), Haro (light - 2nd choice), Specialized (a little to much $).
Bike Setup:6-speed gripshift, 7005 frame, 65mm Mozo fork, alloy v-brakes, riser bar, front fender, no kickstand :)
Bottom Line:Great 1st MTB, not too heavy like previous dept. store "anvil". A kid shouldn't have to ride something that weighs almost the same as the rider (daddy doesn't ride a 125lb bike, so why should I ride a 38 pounder?. Just about everything can be adjusted like a "big boy" bike (exception: no QR on the wheels). This bike makes riding trails fun!
