a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: September 1, 2012 Strengths: Quick background I broke my back in several places and was a decent all round rider then, but i looked like i was never to ride again. Then I said eff it, found this bike and am powering through it, (slowly, very and embarrassingly, slow) but it is good to be able to ride and review after 5 yrs off. Solid platform-Rush 6 has decent component mix for the money.Climbs better than any bike I have owned-Stable on long XC snigle track Weaknesses: Seems long-Not the best in switchbacks but that could be because I ride a large and am probably better suited to a medium. 5'9 short legs long torso. Brake jack going down hill, might as well be a rigid on the rear when you hit the brakes. Brakes a tad weak too, but work. I just quit braking, no more issues. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Too many to list Duration Product Used: 2 months or so now Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Used Similar Products Used: I have owned several bikes. Fisher Sugar. Specialized Enduro, Various hardtails, Riden more full suspension bikes than I can to list. Bike Setup: Basically all stock-Rock Shox Recon upfront, Sram x5 gear and shimano hydro brakes Forte Tsali tires

from Nashville, tn Date Reviewed: June 20, 2009 Strengths: Equiped nicely with Fox 120 fork, and RPL back shock; feels great on the trail, doesn't loose energy on up hill, Smooth for 2 to 3 ft drops Weaknesses: Minor components could be upgraded - I had REI upgrade to SRAM X9 back derailleur and coated cables. First time w/ disc brakes - front brake was "deep" squeeze for responding - got intial re-adjustment and response was back - after couple of weeks though it was back to deep squeeze, not sure if will be living w/ that? Pedals suck. I like adjustable pedals. I even pulled my hamstring, so after that they came off Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Back Bone, Southern Cali Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1800.00 Purchased At: REI Bike Setup: Initial setup has the handlebars high, initiall rides I was really worried that the bike size was not right. The good thing aobut REI though is that they will take it back. But the height is very easy to change and 100% better. Another change is the width of the handle bars. Cannodale makes them really wide. I finally hit my hand on a tree and now they are shorter. They are 3 1/2" longer then my last bike

from Walled Lake, MI, USA Date Reviewed: July 19, 2007 Strengths: Solid frame, nice fork up front, love the SRAM portion of the drivetrain, excellent looking bike Weaknesses: The Truvativ crank is noisy enough to be irriating, front derailluer (Shim. Deore) doesn't quite do its job without a great deal of adjustment. The standard saddle is only good for pain lovers, that thing is narrow, and thin!

from Hampton Roads, Virginia Date Reviewed: November 22, 2006 Strengths: Terrific value; superb suspension provides excellent steering and comfort; decent running gear (for the price); stable geometry; seems plenty tough for its intended purpose. Weaknesses: Could have better running gear; the BB-7 discs don't stop quite as strongly as I thought they would... maybe they aren't broken-in yet.
