from Waterford Date Reviewed: February 5, 2011 Strengths: Cheap buy, Good and proven quality Shimano alivio, acera components. Pretty light in this price range. Well build frame, great brakes, great tires, very comfy seat. Weaknesses: Original spinner fork was a joke... they replaced it twice in first months, weinmann wheels and joytech hubs are not the best quality products - these are just ok at best. Warranty issues with Raleigh company. They are not really helpful and customer service both for bicycle dealer and for the bike owner is a joke.

from Irmo, S.C. Date Reviewed: March 30, 2009 Strengths: I am not a small guy, and this bike has hauled me throgh some scary trails. A strong bike and the components for the money dwarf all the other manufacturers bikes in the same price point. Weaknesses: Pedals have to go.

from East Tawas, MI Date Reviewed: August 20, 2008 Strengths: Great bike for the price. I have put about 150 mi. on the bike so far and it has held up well. Great stopping power and traction. Has held up so far with only a few adjustments. Weaknesses: Could have used a better rear derailleur from the start. Like someone else said in the reviews, this bike has some drive train noise and I think it is due to the crappy Alivio rear derailleur. I wish they would have stepped it up to a Deore or better. I am planning on replacing this with a Deore XT soon. Also, I would have liked to have had 2.3 in. tires instead of 2.2 but that is just me. I agree with other poster too, the front fork will have to go. Absolute poop. I have seen it top out (not bottom out) after compressing it and releasing it for a bunny hop or a drop. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rifle River Recreation Area, Rose City, MI Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $509.00 Purchased At: Riverside Bicycle Os Similar Products Used: Gary Fisher hardtail (can't remember name) Bike Setup: Raleigh Mojave 5.0, Blackburn X8 lights, SBS Titanium seat, stock everything else, soon to be upgrade to Deore XT rear derailleur.
