a Cross Country Rider
from Great Bend, Ks, USADate Reviewed: November 1, 2011
Strengths: Very fast on road, smooth ride with nice geometry. Fairly light set up even with accesories.Weaknesses: Brake pads from factory are week and I had to condition and adjust 2 times, but still better than rim brakes ever will be. They need better brake pads or just upgrade to hydraulic for $120 or so.Bottom Line: Ridden bike 600 miles already and love it. Awsome paint job which turns heads. Everyone who has ridden it loves the ride, smoothness and speed. Well balanced for road without bucking you off or make you feel like it. Have ridden trails, sand, hard dirt, over logs and bike handles it all. Bike is 3 inches longer than a mountain bike with 700 wheels so turning is a learning experience off road. Fork has dampner ajustments and lock out for long rides. I would not purchase to ride trails exclusively, Get a mountain bike that is what they are made for. In my opinion for the price it is the middle of the road quality in componets for a dual sport bike, but a quality bike to put you back into shape.
