I like the bike better all the time.Yeah I don't do dirt jumping with it.But the x-vert from price point is sooo sweet.I need wider tires than the raptors,but I got tired of the cheap truck tires that came on it.Love the bike and would buy again.

Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
Looks like its built to last.Solid parts pick-almost shimano free.Not a cookie cutter bike.Steel is real.
Weaknesses:
Heavy-33lbs.No front suspension
Similar Products Used:
FSR-XC,comp.Mono cog.Giant junk.
Bike Setup:
Stock for now.
Bottom Line:
After trashing my FSR on the trails around Marquette I knew I needed a heavier duty bike.I don't feel that I'm to abusive of a rider,but the FSR needs almost constant maintainance.I've only had it a week and have put 20 mi.on it on the dirt roads.I will update this later.Looks like a good tough bike for those who don't follow the crowd.I would give it more flaming turds if I had it longer.
