from Northeast, PA Date Reviewed: June 30, 2007 Strengths: Incredibly light weight (23 lb's, give or take), top of the line components, climbs like an angry mountain goat, stable at high speed, incredible handling, floats over rock gardens, roots, whatever, and it handles technical sections with ease..... Weaknesses: dont care much for the grips... can be a bit expensive, but you dont really need two kidneys now do you? Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: There are many trails, all different. why pick a favorite? Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Sicklers Bike Shop (a good deal) Similar Products Used: GT Ruckus hardtail and i-drive, Haro x-6 Bike Setup: stock Rush Carbon 1- http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/07/cusa/mountain/rush/model-7VM1.html

from Mclean, VA Date Reviewed: June 18, 2007 Strengths: Top cross country and marathon/Enduro bike. i have now done a number of 100 milers on it and its a great all day bike. Weaknesses: None other than getting used to the lefty - looking down and realising that half the suspension is missing can be a bit off putting. !! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: South Downs Way - UK Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $5800.00 Purchased At: Cycle Soth, GA Similar Products Used: Nothing really. Other bikes are cross country racers - Specialised Carbon hardtail, and Cannondale 1FG SS. Bike Setup: Standrard, apart from new Stans No Tubes Crow tyres - awesome set up with great grip.

from Bluefield, WV Date Reviewed: May 21, 2007 Strengths: Very stiff and responsive frame. Lefty fork does not flex and stands up well under acceleration. New XTR group shifts very crisp. Crossmax SLR's roll fast. Very low standover clearance. Weight around 24 1/2 pounds. Very little or no suspension bob. Weaknesses: Maxxis Crossmark tires corner really well but lack the grip on roots compared to Serac IRC. XTR brakes are weak compared to my old Avid Juicy 7's. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pandapas Pond trails Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $5200.00 Purchased At: Adventures Similar Products Used: 02 Giant NRS XTC Bike Setup: Rush Carbon 1

from Windsor, ON Canada Date Reviewed: March 26, 2007 Strengths: Very confident inspiring. By far, the most comfortably riding bike I've ever owned. Excellent components: it comes with full XTR if that doesn't say enough, Mavic SLR Disc UST, RP23, Thompson seatpost, FSA bar, Carbon Lefty...basically, everything I would have upgraded to eventually on a lesser equipped bike. The handling is incredible once you feel comfortable riding on one fork leg. It climbs like a crazed mountain goat (propedal engaged), and descends like a paraplegic monkey on X. Weaknesses: Pricey, but I come from the school of thought that 'you get what you pay for' philosophy. Longer wheelbase and lower bottom bracket than anything else I've compared it to. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Teocali Ridge (best ever ridden) best locally though is Brunette Park Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $6500.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Kona Fire Mountain, M800 Cannondale, OCLV Trek, GT Zaskar Bike Setup: Stock. (See product strengths) The bike comes ready to rock and roll with the best of them.
