from WalesDate Reviewed: August 10, 2009
Strengths: Great for dirt jumping, good for the money, not a single rattle when you jump, good strong design!!!!Weaknesses: The only weakness i could pick out was that it`s breaks aren`t the greatest but can easily be replaced if pads wear down.Bottom Line: The bottom line is that i can highly reccommend this bike for the main uses of dirt jumping and a little downhill but remeber the forks aren`t design for downhill so take it easy on the fast downhill straights, GET THIS BIKEEEEE!!!!!

from Allendale, MIDate Reviewed: March 25, 2008
Strengths: This bike from and forks are rock solid and the brakes are pretty good to. Love the brick pedals there real grippy and I haven't slipped a pedal yet.Weaknesses: The back derailer sucks and the spring popped out in the first couple of months but thanks to Freewheeler bike shop I have a brand new derailer that is of higher quality, so the bike rides fin now. The chain wheel and rims do bend pretty easy. The rims are a good brand but I dont like to monkey around with my bike so I put some steel rims on instead of the alluminum ones that the bike comes with But I do love this bike!!Bottom Line: Really solid bike with a new derailer and some steel rims.

from falls creek n.s.w australiaDate Reviewed: December 5, 2007
Strengths: cheap bike,excellent bike for money, i paid $690 australian
looks good on black!
Weaknesses: the crank cause some trouble but that could be because of the terain i ride on, which is fine dust.Bottom Line: the bike is a great bike for beginner riders and beyond, i ride one, and i am an ok rider, my mates ride the 06 model(almost the same) and it handles everything they throught at it, massive 10 meter drops, fast hard turning, so if you want a cheaper bike that can handle anything and is practically bomb proof, then buy a mongoose fireball.
Duration Product Used: 3 months

Bike Setup: stock, putting new crank in, stickers, may put different seat (just for looks), and maybe some hydraulic brakes.
