from London , ON. CANADA Date Reviewed: June 14, 2009 Strengths: Frame : light weight and VERY strong. I am 300 lbs and 6'3 i ride to work every day and have been in 2 biking accidents one involving a car. and the frame has held strong. Handlebars: good height and riding position again I'm 6'3 and have a 20' bike and it is very comfortable to ride every day and night. Brakes: Amazing! I love to FLY downhill and at a moments notice the brakes respond and can stop you fast, some times too fast. Tires : Good. but not the best out there, I have left the front tire and upgraded the rear to a 65 psi tire for street use. much better but loss of grip is VERY noticeable. Front tire is just fine. Gears : Meh. So far they have done an OK job but the sprockets have actually Lost some teeth and the shifting is very tricky I have actually lost some gears from time to time from the derailer getting too close to the rear spokes( pos. crash related) but it gets the job done. And Plenty of gears to chose from. Weaknesses: RIMS : Upgrading soon. the original double wall rims are STRONG but weight is a factor and @ 300 + they will bend and lose true quickly. but for regular riders they should be ok. Grips: SUCK!. Get new ones ASAP! Seat: SUCKS !. Again get a new one ASAP. peddles: Cheep. But they work. use $ to get other stuff first. Shocks : Cant say. they worked good for the month i had them but they got totaled in crash with car. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Road Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: first cycle works Similar Products Used: other bikes priced might be similar. But i have tried the Canadian tire and Walmart bikes in the price range they don't stack up even close. Bike Setup: Frame: stock 6061 aluminum. Shocks: ROCK SHOX dart 1 Tires; Front Stock. Rear KENDA K-rad 65psi. Street tire. Seat: Serfas E-Gel Gears: Stock (upgrade Soon) Grips: Comofo 3 Gel grips. AWESOME. Brakes: Stock Rims: Stock (upgrade) ? Other : X-TRA DRY mud guard.

from Toronto, ON, Canada Date Reviewed: September 25, 2008 Strengths: Excellent maneuverability, great fork and a lovely frame shape. Breaks have ample power and are very smooth. Long pedal cranks provide lots of power. Rather lightweight for a bike with disc brakes. Low rolling resistance tyres, yet grippy enough on trail uphills. Weaknesses: Slow shifting mechanism. Another gear wouldn't hurt (it comes stock with only a 7-speed Shimano hub). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $389.00 Purchased At: The Cycle Shoppe Similar Products Used: '02 Norco Katmandu Bike Setup: Stock w/ steel pedals.
