from South Carolina Date Reviewed: April 26, 2009 Strengths: This bike is very light. Shifts through the gears well. Frame looks awesome, due to the design and paint job/graphics. Weaknesses: The only thing on my V-1 that I have found to be a weakness is the fork. Its crap. But then again, I have put it through a dump-truck load of abuse. It works..but it has alotta flex. And it should come with disk brakes. THAT would be a nice touch. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The trails around my house, made by dirtbikes and 4-wheelers. Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $180.00 Purchased At: Bike To Nature Similar Products Used: None, when it comes to this caliper of bike. Bike Setup: I've got Specialized Hardrock wheels (comes in a set), and Avid BB7 disks, front and rear. Other then that, the bike is stock. Two LED headlights and a small red LED in the rear, for night rideing.

from us Date Reviewed: July 24, 2007 Strengths: good bike to get into mountain biking. i've takin this bike through black diamonds and it rides well for the price of the bike Weaknesses: the drivetrain isnt the greatest and is a little slow shifting but you cant expect much for the price. also the derailleurs loosen about every other time on the trails from being jolted around.the stock tires are junk enough said. and the mozo 30a fork is a sorry excuse for a fork. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rockcut at steele creek Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $180.00 Purchased At: adventure cycles Similar Products Used: scott reflex Bike Setup: replaced the stock tires and hoping to replace the fork [any suggestions for a good fork] also want to replace some drivetrain components and i'd also like to replace the v-brakes with some avid juicy brakes but a little out of my price range

from Avon, CO, US Date Reviewed: May 5, 2007 Strengths: i'm average height and got the 15 inch frame. Set it up with burly components all around and dirt jump/race the heck out of it. Seems to be holding up to all the abuse i can throw at it. Super low top tube, makes the bike very manueverable and easy to throw around in the air. Weaknesses: I just am using the frame and i haven't found any weakness with it. If it ever breaks i guess that would be a weakness, but it's working good right now. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Eby Ranch Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: buddy gave me it Similar Products Used: Old School trek 830 AL used to be the dirt jumper, but it was 18" and i wanted something smaller! Bike Setup: Bighit bars, ODI lockons, Tecktro mechanical disc, WTB DX23 wheelsets, Manitou minute 1:00 fork, sram x.5 shifters/derailleur, Mr. Dirt Chainguide system, Road bike speed cassette, kenda k-rad tires.
