from Asia Date Reviewed: May 17, 2011 Strengths: Classic XC geometry with 71 deg head angle + 73 deg seattube. Lightest frame at the price I paid. As cheap as much lower end offerings from Giant, Scott, and the big brand names. The welding is among the best out there. Frame has the stiffest rear triangle compared to any fullsus I've owned. Anodized blue color is different from the other bikes on the street. Best of all, with the RP23 Pro Pedal on I get no pedal bob when climbing! Weaknesses: Rear triangle design is really tight for the RD makes it harder to tune. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hambalang Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $1300.00 Purchased At: Jenson Similar Products Used: Far too many. High ends and low ends... Bike Setup: X-0 groupset, Easton EA90 XC wheels, top parts...

from Southern California Date Reviewed: March 5, 2009 Strengths: Light. Fast. Stiff. Responsive. Quick handling. Nice Polished Anodized Blue Finish. Attractive sleek look. It just looks fast. Made in the USA - at least the front triangle. I was informed that Titus does all the front triangles in house. The rear triangle: chain stay, etc. is made in Taiwan. And finally frame assembly in Tempe, Arizona. Weaknesses: 1)Expensive Retail Price for an aluminum frame, but in this messy economy, most likely due to the increased cost in raw materials and manufacturing, but I got an excellent deal on mine Thanks to RBikes. 2) Decals on top tube and down tube are stickers. I don't think the sticker decals will last the long haul - they will eventually peel off. Would be better if the decals were painted or etched. 3) Extra set up chore to route the rear brake hose underneath the top tube and through the rear shock mount tab. The brake lever/master cylinder assembly and caliper will not fit to pass through/between the rear shock mount, you have to remove the rear brake hose from the master cyclinder, route the hose through the shock mount, reassemble the rear brake hose into the master cylinder, and bleed the rear brakes - routing the rear brake hose on the Racer X was easier, you only had to remove the rear shock from the top shock mount and pass the rear brake hose through the frames top tube shock mount - no brake hose removal and no bleeding required. Ok, not really a weakness, but I hate the chore of bleeding my brakes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: RBikes Similar Products Used: Turner Flux, Titus Racer X. Bike Setup: I built it up with Mavic CrossMax SL Wheels; Rock Shox SID Team fork; Race Face Deus Cranks; UST Maxxis CrossMark tires; Chris King headset; Avid Elixir Carbon disc brakes; XT shifters, XT front/rear derailleurs, XT cassette; Thomson Masterpiece seatpost; Chris King headset; FSA carbon riser handlebar; FSA stem; Specialized Rival Ti saddle; ODI lock on grips.
