from Brisbane, Australia Date Reviewed: December 21, 2010 Strengths: The frame is the thing I bought it for, as well as a platform to put better parts on. If you can handle to extra weight (compared to my uncles Giant XTCs) then the small frame is nimble enough to jump, rockhop and get over the hill. Weaknesses: The rims are bad, the front derailleur is okay if you can tune it with the quick adjustor on the shifters ( I upgraded to alivio) and the bars/stem/seatpost is something I've replaced or going to. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: SJ Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: BikeForce Similar Products Used: Test rode some Giant XTCs and Giant Talon Bike Setup: Avid Juicy 3, Shimano Alivio shifters, Shimano rear wheelset, shimano clipless SPD pedals, Truvativ Hussefelt stem and bars, maxxis crossmark tyres. Removed all reflectors.

from PacNW Date Reviewed: September 4, 2010 Strengths: Looks really good, nice paint. Seems to be a very well balanced package, everything has functioned as it should. Shifts well if not a bit noisy but smooth. No derailleur or shifter issues, that's huge! Nothing worse than poor shifting. Front fork has been a definite "OK". Weaknesses: Nothing broken yet but the wheel set is kinda questionable but we will see. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Long ones..

from Bellingham, WA. USA Date Reviewed: December 18, 2009 Strengths: The saddle is extremely comfortable. The bike handles well and the rear derailleur shifts precisely. Weaknesses: Front derailleur consistantly overshoots the large chainring even after the tuneup. The front dropouts are not level. It is like one leg of the front fork is longer than the other. The pedals Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $450.00 Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: Schwinn Frontier Bike Setup: Stock

from west hartford, ct Date Reviewed: May 22, 2009 Strengths: Purchased it as an entry-level mtb and it's serving that purpose very well. i knew i'd have to throw some money into it but i can take the components i throw on it and put them on my next bike so i'm not worried about it. Weaknesses: wheels suck, bent them both terribly already, every mechanic i talk to says they can't fix them, so that's my next purchase, new wheels. also the tires were pretty horrible, they wore down really easily and i just got new tires, maybe 250 miles on the bike. i have a problem getting it into 3rd gear unless i'm going downhill, but getting it tuned up so we'll see if that fixes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: EMS Bike Setup: aspect 55 with new pedals and new tires
