from Canberra Date Reviewed: November 28, 2007 Strengths: You can ride it fast or you can ride it really fast and you never feel like its holding you back. Anodized grey finish is hard wearing and stealth. They are fairly uncommon in these parts and it impresses the punters. Weaknesses: I got used to the vast improvement in performance too quickly, now I will never be satisfied with cheap imitations. This just might be the pinnacle of mtb performance so how will I upgrade? Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: currently - the powerlines trail between majura and ainslie Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $1395.00 Purchased At: Competitive Cyclist Similar Products Used: cheap imitations that now seem neither plush, not fast. Bike Setup: marzocchi mx pros, XT/XTR, XT shadow rear der, goodridge hyrdo brake lines, thomson, mavic, roox bars.

from Mountain Home Date Reviewed: November 23, 2007 Strengths: Simple, light (not super-light), strong, reliable, balanced, climbs well, rolling terrain is always a blast and downhill is a pleasure. Single track is where this bike excels. I ride my standard training loop on my hard tail in about the same time, but it beats the crap out of me and I am regularly on the edge of being in/out of control on my hardtail to be as quick as this bike. It is a marathon racers ultimate weapon. Weaknesses: Long head tube. The main pivot bolt (next to BB) removes from the drive side. That means I have to pull my cranks off to service this pivot. Not a big deal, but could be swapped to the non-drive side easily. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: Raleigh NC Similar Products Used: Litespeed, Norco, Cannondale F900, Proflex, Specialized... Bike Setup: Reliable.Light. Marz Marathons. Marta SLs. SRAM drive train. Tubless King/Mavic wheels. Thompson bits and Raceface carbon bars

Weaknesses: Not cheap, stories about frames breaking, you need a SRAM or shimano shadow rear derailleur, otherwise it bangs against the frame. Doesnt have the funky fluid formed tubes like the new giants. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1395.00 Purchased At: Competitive Cyclist Similar Products Used: Giant NRS, KHS Soft-tail, steel hardtails.

from Santa Fe, NM, USA Date Reviewed: July 24, 2007 Strengths: I love the way this bike handles. It is true. You become one with it! Weaknesses: Frame snapped in half after 2 1/2 years. It broke in the lower seam up front. Titus refused to replace it. Apparently, the frame only came with 2 years of warranty. They let me buy a new front triangle for $600. I would have to cover the shipping and installation cost. Bye bye Titus! Good luck without me.
