from west Bend WI, Us. Date Reviewed: August 26, 2010 Strengths: The Frames is a Nice, reliable frame, and the overall bike has no objections to being bunny hopped over a log or two. The disc brakes are a plus. Weaknesses: The Tire choice is an odd choice, seeing that The Rear tire bobs on rocky climbs, and gives me high road resistance. Also, the grips Suck And the fork could do withreplacing.

from Milwaukee, WI, USA Date Reviewed: March 6, 2010 Strengths: Very nice bike for the money. Gears shift easily and brakes are good. I like the tires because they're not to knobby for riding on the road but knobby enough for dirt and offroad. Very fast and again brakes provide a very safe and slow but not to slow stop. I also like that both tires are quick release. Weaknesses: The seat is kind of hard. Hard to adjust seat height. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Elroy Sparta Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: Wheel and Sprocket Bike Setup: Maybe a softer seat for those people with sensitive butts

from Chelmsford UK Date Reviewed: December 13, 2009 Strengths: Solid and does well over reasonable cc trails. Excellent fat tyres make wet off road a bit easier. Excellently set up and kitted out by the shop - street legal. Gears just snap in straight away even when wet and muddy. Good seat. Looks good. The touch up paint included is a nice thought! Weaknesses: Front sus is not much good. It collects mud rather than throws it off. Brakes are not very good - they certainly work but I'd prefer blocks rather than disks as it would mean a bit more safety without the added cost of better disks. Would have preferred an 18 inch frame but actually the 17 1/2 was good! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Gambia Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Internet Bike Shop, Similar Products Used: Muddy Fox Adventurer.
