from Chesapeake, VA Date Reviewed: February 19, 2008 Strengths: This is my first full suspension, air travel, hyd disc brakes. I love the active ride on the suspension. The bike climbs very well when you stay in the saddle. Bars are a little wide for me, but that's an easy fix. Brakes worked 4.0 through wet and muddy conditions. Weaknesses: Didn't have any as of now. Everything worked great.

from Federal Way, WA USA Date Reviewed: February 7, 2007 Strengths: Price. $1,700 MSRP. Purchased year end 2006 closeout for $1,300. Good dealer support on warranty repair of Fox Float R. Weaknesses: None for the $'s it is great value. Naturally, for this priced bike, the rim/ hub combo isn't going awesome, just adequate. I would like to upgrade the wheels/ hubs. Other upgrades will come as my $'s and skill set warrants. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1300.00 Purchased At: Phil's South Side Cyclery Similar Products Used: Not many, this is my first full suspension. I was using a Rock Hopper for a year prior to this. Bike Setup: 100% stock except for upgrade to Shimano PD545, plant bike fenders and some WTB tires more suited for muddy Pacific NW winters. Because this was 2006 closeout. It has a unique mix of 2006 and 2007 parts. I notice my handle bar was from the next expert model up so I faired well. Seat Post Easton 30, Avid Juicy 5 Brakes, Easton 30 Stem, Easton 50 Low Rise Bar, SRAM X9 Rear, SRAM X Gen Front, SRAM X9 Shifters, Mavic XM117 Rims, Shimano 525 Hubs, Hyd Brakes, Truvative Fire X Crank, Manitou R7 Comp Fork, Fox Float R Shock.

from Singapore Date Reviewed: July 2, 2006 Strengths: Value for money package. High quality frameset; Kinesis Superlight Aluminum. Great kit for the money. Lightweight chasis. Climbs well on ascends and descends just as well. Proven swing-link suspension platform. Nice colour scheme. Weaknesses: Paintwork rather susceptible to minute scratches when cleaning. So watch out ! Avid Juicy brakes comes with lousy pads and the brakes tend to leak so watch out for that too.
