from Santiago, Chile Date Reviewed: June 16, 2010 Strengths: I was pretty impressed when I saw it on the net, but then seeing this at the store was much more than expected. Great frame in terms of shape, geometry, intended use... quite reinforced but still not heavy! I also fell in love with its FSA Gravity Step Up crankset w/bashguard, it is a good tool for the price. Also liked CNC-made stem, handlebar, seatpost, saddle... and we can not forget the Schwalbe tires, of course! Weaknesses: I think the most disgusting thing about this kind of bike is the poor drivetrain setup they always have (Shimano Alivio RD is just unforgivable for a 2010 bike – maybe a deore shadow would work fine), although I can understand it since the intended use is not related to long pedaling sessions but just pedaling around “doing some stuff out there” Marzocchi fork, although stable, stiff, sensible, etc is still pretty cheap -not enough adjustments Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Alpes, La Florida Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $850.00 Purchased At: Belda Bicycles USA Similar Products Used: Norco scrambler fully customized – pieces on that frame will now be added to this one. Bike Setup: get it at Norco.com/Bikes/Mountain/Adventure X/Wolverine 2010

from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Date Reviewed: May 27, 2010 Strengths: The beefiest frame i've ever used. the fork is amazing: mine is a 2009 model wolverine so i got marzocchi bomber 22r's with 120 mm travel with dampening. Sram x4 gearset, truvativ crank and bb, and hayes mx4 disc brakes front and rear (very grippy and good when wet even) Bashguard on crank is very effective and has saved my sprockets many times lol. This bike is great for dirt jumping. period. great standover and angle of attack. Weaknesses: The rims could be stronger, but i haven't needed to get mine trued yet so that's a good thing. The tires are great for use on dirt and mud and grass and trails, but very noisy and inefficient on street. install a chainstay guard right away!!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Local dirt jumps/river valley Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $630.00 Purchased At: Klondike Cycle Similar Products Used: Norco Katamandu, Rocky Mountain flow raw, doesn't even come close to the Specialized Hardrock. Bike Setup: Stock except new lock-on grips.
