from San Jose, Costa Rica Date Reviewed: July 6, 2010 Strengths: Simplicity of a single pivot, good components, strenght of the frame. Love the Shock, the WTB seat and the SRAM drivetrain. Weaknesses: The handlebar seems a little narrow, the tires are fast rolling but can´t handle mud or rooty terrain. Also for me the stock fork was a noodle so I upgraded to a Reba with a 20mm thru-axle. The hub I bought for my frontwheel is a Transition Revolution (Anodized red) and it looks and performs great. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Universisad de la Paz Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1500.00 Purchased At: Bicimontaña Similar Products Used: My Cannondale hardtail which was a really trust-worthy and handled like a real crosscountry rocket, but lacked the versatility of a good double suspension trailbike. I also had a Haro Extreme X3 but the frame size was a little small for me (16”) so it was heaven on downhills and hell on the uphills… I´m riding a happy medium between the two and I´m extremely pleased so far. Bike Setup: Frame Shift 6061 Hydroformed Aluminum; 120mm Wheel Travel Sizes 18” Frame Shock RockShox Ario 2.1 Fork Rock Shox Reba Team with 20mm Thru-axle Headset Ritchey Comp Logic Drop In Crank Set Truvativ Fire-X 3.0 22/32/44 Bottom Bracket Truvativ GXP Derailleur Front Sram X.7 Derailleur Rear Sram X.9 Freewheel Sram PG970 9 Speed 11-34 Chain Shimano HG53 Pedals Cranckbrothers Candy X Handlebar Ritchey Comp riser; 30mm rise; 660mm wide; 31.8 clamp Stem Ritchey Comp mtn; 6 degree; 31.8 clamp Grips Lizard Skins Steve Peat Lock-ons Derailleur Shifter Sram X.7 9-Speed Saddle WTB Rocket V Comp Seat Post Ritchey Comp 30.9 Seat Post Clamp Pivit alloy QR Hubset Transition Revolution Front/Shimano M475 32h Rear Rim Ritchey OCR Pro Spokes Stainless steel 14g w/ Alloy Nipples Tires Kenda Kinetics 2.35 Front/Maxxis Ranchero 2.1 Rear Brakes Tektro Auriga Comp Hydraulic w/ 160mm Rotors Brake Lever Tektro Auriga Comp Hydraulic
