from Midland, MI USA Date Reviewed: August 24, 2005 Strengths: Good component mix. The little touches are nice such as the race face bar and stem, hutchinson tires, and Time pedals. The frame is very stiff when sprinting, but handles well in the rough as the carbon flexes. Weaknesses: Its a little short in the top tube. I rode a specialized 17" and now this XTC in 17". I feel a little bunched up on it, but I have a longer than usual torso for someone who rides a 17". Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Stony Creek Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Specialized Stumpjumper Bike Setup: Mavic CrossRoc wheelset with tubeless Hutchinson Python tires, Shimano LX Dual Control Levers, Thomson Elite Set Back seatpost, Selle Italia XO saddle, ODI lock on grips, Specialized Elite Classic wireless computer, Shimano XT cassette, Sram PC 69 chain....otherwise its a stock bike.
