from Lakeland, FL, Polk Date Reviewed: January 9, 2011 Strengths: Great package. High end components with Sram xo, ESA, etc...Durable bike...they way a mountain bike should be. Handles climbs, drops, roots rocks and keeps ticking. Never a part failure (except for a tire). The Fox 100 XL shock is great and the Fow RP23 is always solid. The brushed aluminum frame is not only one of the best looking frames but stays looking great...no paint chips to deal with. Weaknesses: The Mavic tubeless rims are a bear to get the tubeless tires off of. It would be nice to have a little more clearance for the bigger rock, ruts and logs. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Alafia and Cater Road Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Cannondale Ultra badboy, Cannondale Scalpel, K2 Carbon Fiber Oz Bike Setup: Stock other than CF Monkey bars and post,

from Arkansas Date Reviewed: November 18, 2007 Strengths: The 3Z has the ability to make hill climbs a breeze. The stock fork and single pivot rear shock eats up the rough terrian with ease making it a smooth ride. Weaknesses: I think for the money that cannondale could have put X-9 shifters on the bike instead of the X-7 shifters. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Lewis and Clark Bike Setup: Easton carbon monkeylite xc bar, x-9 shifter,EA90 stem

from Pittsburgh Date Reviewed: September 7, 2007 Strengths: Very fast bike, handles bumps, rocks, roots with ease. Front shock is awesome, doesn't compress when pedaling but absorbs every bump when needed. Downhills are a breeze. Weaknesses: I wouldn't call it a weakness, maybe a personal preference, but the brake levers are to long. I like to use 1 finger when braking & when depressing the levers they tend to hit my other 3 knuckels. I guess I could adjust the levers so they don't depress that far but then the brakes become too sensitive. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $2000.00 Purchased At: Pgh Pro Bikes Similar Products Used: Last bike was a '95 Specialized StumpJumper M2 Comp Bike Setup: All origional parts, size large

from Austin, TX Date Reviewed: February 10, 2007 Strengths: This is a great bike! As my first quality mountain bike, I am not very keen to what goes into a good bike, but this this made me feel like a pro! I could climb things I couldn't before and was alot quicker in the turns. I like not having to reach for lockouts because the Fox Terralogic in the front and the ProPedal in the rear work really, really well. I bought the 3Z because of the traditional stanchion fork and my roof rack. Weaknesses: The Mavic Crosslands are pretty flexible. Shift levers were easy to depress accidentally with my thumb knuckle. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: City Park Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $2599.00 Purchased At: 360 Cycleworks Austin Tx Similar Products Used: '05 Ironhorse Maverick Disc Bike Setup: Stock in BLU/GRY colors Size M, Swapped out Crank Bros. for SPDs. Bike weighed in at 29lbs.

from SoCal Date Reviewed: January 20, 2007 Strengths: This bike was built to do it all. It's fast on flowing singletrack, but it can take the big hits as well, especially if you get a fork with a little more travel. The SRAM spec makes all the difference on this bike. The shifting is quick and accurate. The Avid Juicy's are another great spec choice. And it's just a beauty to look at, especially the Team Colors version. Weaknesses: I wouldn't really call it a weakness, I'm just not very fond of the egg beaters, so I swapped them out for something else. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything fast and flowing Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $2600.00 Similar Products Used: Santa Cruz LT GT I Drive 5 1.0 Bike Setup: Everything stock expect for things I'll keep secret.
