from Upstate New York Date Reviewed: April 6, 2010 Strengths: Great steel frame, nice components, good ride, well worth the money. Weaknesses: heavy, but not abnormally so. From what I've heard, the Hayes Sole brakes don't have good stopping power. However, I weigh 140 lbs and haven't really noticed. I've used brakes that have better stopping power, but I can lock both wheels with relative ease when I want to (for stoppies and rear wheel brake slides).

from Charlotte, NC, USA Date Reviewed: September 10, 2008 Strengths: Good deal on a "steel is real" hardtail bike. Great grip, good component set - although trying my hardest to get things broken so I can get on the upgrade train. Shimano components (transmission) have been faultless, despite being midrange. Weaknesses: Chrome and Black paint job makes it look a bit like a supermarket bike. Beware buying bikes from the internet. Even though this came with 'professional setup', it arrived with neither disc brake working (leaks, kinks in hoses), a small ding in the frame, front tire instaled wrong way round, rear deraileur needing adjustment. Jenson did provide a credit and my LBS made good on adjustments, but I couldn't ride the thing out of the crate. Feels very heavy, but somehow it just loves going up hills. Rear wheel needed some truing after first few rides (which I discovered after reviewing the wheelset on MTBR.com) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Charlotte Whitewater Center Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $850.00 Purchased At: JensonUSA.com Similar Products Used: Trek 8000 with XT components, which felt tons lighter, but suffered a bent frame in a harsh tumble. Bike Setup: I changed the stock flat handlebar for a wider raised Bontranger Crowbar as well as the grips for fatter Race Face grips, both off the old bike. Transformed the handling and my confidence in the bike.

from Houston, TX, USA Date Reviewed: August 5, 2008 Strengths: Climbs well, nice shock, comfortable saddle, deore lx/xt, grippy tires. Steel frame is stiff yet dampens the rough stuff. Weaknesses: A little heavy (it is steel), headset squeaked during first ride, but a few allen wrench turns took care of that Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Lake Bryan, Anthills Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $800.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: '04 Trek 820 Singletrack Bike Setup: Stock, added a chainstay guard
