from Pretoria, South Africa Date Reviewed: September 15, 2009 Strengths: Price. Indestructable. Pretty good components all things considered, lets face it, this is not the most expensive bike you could buy. Weaknesses: Pretty heavy, Sram X5 rear derailer gives a few problems but is an easy upgrade. (Do this in the shop when you buy the bike, many places will swop it out and only make you pay the difference between the old and new derailers.) Fork is less than ideal but sufficient. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Van Gaalens (Literally the best single track of all time) Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Westdene Cycles Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Stock setup except for SRam X9 rear derailer.

from Phoenix AZ Date Reviewed: June 9, 2009 Strengths: This is for the 2007 Model. I think they bike is absolutely terrific for the price and suits my needs out in the mountains of Arizona perfectly. The brakes stop on a dime and are very smooth with no fade on even very long downhills. The frame is strong and has withstanded intense rock gardens and 2-4 foot drops. Weaknesses: When I first got it the front brake disc was out of true and needed to be bent back into shape. After that, they worked flawlessly. The real derailer seems to be tricky here and there and will skip and slip during hard climbs in low gears. I still need to get this adjusted (even after two years :) ) The mountains i ride in just dont usually require the lowest gears. It's either moderate uphills, or so steep you have to get off your bike and walk. The front forks are pretty slushy but are adequate for my riding at 160 pounds. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Trail 100- Squaw peak AZ Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $700.00 Purchased At: Jensen Similar Products Used: nothing comparing to this Bike Setup: Bone stock with a Panoram trail computer

from Austin,Tx,United States Date Reviewed: April 8, 2009 Strengths: great value!!The frame, rear suspension works great, handeling is good. Point in any direction and go. Good breaks. This is my first duel suspention bike and i love it. This bike really cought my eye when looking for a new bike. I would call this bike a all mountain, xc bike. So far the bike has taken every thing that I can dish out to it. I am not worried about the frame breaking. How ever I changed the front shock to a Marzocci bomber and it really set the bike up. My brother is a little jelous that I came up with this bike becouse I was out for a while due to illness and then Bam I have a all mountain bike! His words were "where can't you ride around here now." Weaknesses: I found that the tires want to let go around turns. They are the WTB Kamodos. some gohst shifting but was able to adjust out. Front shock was a Rock Shox and leaked oil. Sinse the shock was leaking oil The manager let me trade .the front shock to a Marzocci Bomber{SWEET} Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: walnut creek, muleshue Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $850.00 Purchased At: Performance Bicycle

from West Chester, PA, USA Date Reviewed: January 27, 2009 Strengths: Really strong frame, it could be lighter but good for the price. It's got components on it that are on bikes almost twice as much. Rides real nice due to the rear air shock with 4.4in adjustable travel. Weaknesses: Not a huge fan of the brakes. They are price point, but at least they are hydraulic. The front shock is coil sprung, but it is adjustable 80-120mm and its plush for a coil. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: French Creek Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $850.00 Purchased At: Performance Bike Similar Products Used: Santa Cruz Blur Bike Setup: This with Crank Bros Candy C's.
