from La Mesa, CA Date Reviewed: March 24, 2012 Strengths: For under $500, you get yourself a lifetime-warranted frame! The newest version has a zero-stack headset, pretty decent components, and disc brakes. The factory components are ok, if you do not ride too much trail or gravity. The bike is upgradable. Weaknesses: Wheels and fork are absolutely rubbish, but that is true across the board at this price.

from Southportm NC Date Reviewed: December 28, 2011 Strengths: Price... Even new, the price is pretty good for a mountain bike of reputable quality. It's also upgradable. The bike is built like a tank. I've been ragging on mine for several years now and have done some pretty intense riding with it, and it is still holding together with the original components. Weaknesses: Weight... this is largely due to the front fork and rims. I have upgraded the rims to something lighter and replaced the pedals with shoes... I'll probably upgrade the fork to something lighter in the near future. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tsali Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: Second Hand from Fri Similar Products Used: Gary Fisher Marlin Bike Setup: Stock frame, fork, and components. Shimano M087 shoes, lighter rims, XC Tires...

from Paranaque City, Philippines Date Reviewed: June 22, 2010 Strengths: A good solid bike. If you like hitting the trails a lot but don't really have the budget, this is the bike for you. The fork is good for light trails but it tends to bottom out when the trail gets nasty. The tires are pretty good for both the road and dirt. The bike was actually designed pretty well and most of the components on the bike will definitely do if you are not looking for top performance. If you want to bring out the bike's potential, you might want to consider shelling out an additional $200 or so for upgrade parts. Weaknesses: It's a little heavy for a hardtail. I have a full suspension bike that is a little lighter than this. That says a lot considering hardtails are supposed to be lighter. I have the white version of this bike and dirt sticks to it like anything but that's the price I get for getting anything white, right? Stock brakes are pretty bad so you might want to replace them with at least entry level Shimano brake calipers and discs like the Non-Series BR-M416. That will definitely help with the braking. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anywhere and Everywhere Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $350.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Mongoose, Cannondale, Merida and Giant entry level bikes. Bike Setup: Stock except for new Ashima Airotors, Deore shifters, Deore hydraulic brakes, Viper pedals and bar-ends for climbing steep hills.

from APO, AP Date Reviewed: March 20, 2010 Strengths: Bike is like a TANK!!! Disk brakes are awesome... though i have to work on them because they don't stop the bike they i think they are supposed to. Weaknesses: seats a little uncomfortable, but that might just be me. shifting gears isn't as smooth as other revies say. When in some gears it clicks a lot.
