from Pittsburgh, PA Date Reviewed: April 15, 2008 Strengths: Great frame, can handle anything - especially hills, has survived many beatings and the handling has improved *tremendously* going from 100mm to 85mm with an upgraded fork. Weaknesses: Stock fork is absolute crap (Spinner Grind OS2 100mm), stock saddle (WTB Speed V) is crap as well - it's a cheap OEM version of the real thing; it bent out of shape for no reason within one month - i'm only 165lbs!!! Derailleur hanger can bend with little force but thats your own fault if it bends! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Iron City Bikes Bike Setup: KHS Alite 1000 frame; Marzocchi MX Comp Air 85mm; Can Creek A-head headset; SRAM X7 front, SX5 rear, SX5 Triggers; Truvativ Braze cranks; Truvativ Howitzer BB; Hayes MX4 disc brakes; SRAM chain; Shimano PD-M520 clipless; Panaracer Fire XC Pros; Titec Micros bar ends

from Montreal, Que, Canada Date Reviewed: March 10, 2008 Strengths: Decent Geometry. Front fork Weaknesses: Absolutely rubbish bike! Stock components are terrible. Dérailleur hanger is too soft and will bend even if the bike is leaned on the right side. Stock rims will warp if you plan on jumping, going over logs or rocks. Stock disc breaks as mechanical and need constant adjusting every ride, particularly if you plan on taking the wheels off. Bring a multi tool or you are screwed. Stock seat will make you sterile. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Ski Pro Shop Similar Products Used: Kona Dawg, Specialized rockhopper, Brody Alpha

from Kalispell, MT, USA Date Reviewed: April 4, 2006 Strengths: Light weight, Strong frame, and decent components. Hayes mechanical disk brakes are pretty good. Very good value for the price. I've put this bike through more than its probably built for, and its still in perfect working order. Weaknesses: Seat starts to hurt your ass after a while, and pedals are kind of crappy. Fork is decent, but could be better, but this is on the 04 model, they may have upgraded stuff by now. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pig Farms Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Sunshine Bikes Similar Products Used: Kona Blast, Trek 4300 Bike Setup: Stock, except for better pedals.
