Submitted by Casey Chadwick a Weekend Warrior from Orem, Utah, USA
Date Reviewed: February 9, 2006
Favorite Trail:Slick Rock, Moab, Utah
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $190.00
Purchased At:Pedersen's Sports, University Mall
Strengths:This is the lightest bike I ever had. I haven't made it go as fast as it could go, but so far I beat out all the other other BMX racers in town. Strongest frames I ever had. Great brakes.
Weaknesses:It's not the toughest bike I ever got, but almost. Rims don't take the landings as good as I would like. Had to replace them once. Also had to replace the bottom bracket once (expensive!) after repeated landings off the half-pipe.
Similar Products Used:Diamondback RMX, Redline
Bike Setup:Basically stock.
Bottom Line:This bike is a definite must have, if you're a serious BMX stunt racer or bike park chump. The latest bikes don't stand a chance against this one. If you don't own a Nitrus, you bow to the other guy that does!
