Date Reviewed: February 27, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$1500.00 | | Purchased At: | South Africa | | Strengths: | Excellent components except seat and post! | | Weaknesses: | The i seat post and seat combo. Repalce ASAP as it continually comes loose on rides. | | Similar Products Used: | GT | | Bike Setup: | XC distance riding. Lower seat for jumping. Changed to Time Atac Pedals :-) good for the mud. Changed to riser bars as the flats were no good to man or beast. | | Bottom Line: | A good all round bike. Swapped out pedals and changing to riser bars makes a world of difference to ride and comfort and big up on the handling. All the components are trick so to speak. Juicy 7 brakes working in all conditions and a good handler in the forrest and nice climber on the hills.
However the i seat post and seat combo are a no go. The seat works it's way loose after every ride! Good XC bike and great racer. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
