Favorite Trail:What ever i can untill our park has been finished being built
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $526.00
Purchased At:Schuberts Cycles and Skates
Strengths:Nice looking and very strong although the forks seem to bend or wait mabey thats just my inability to ride :)Good tyres they last for ages and are really grippy although Maxxis Miracles are better for riding park :)
Weaknesses:Forks like i said and the crank arms seem to be a bit week. Back arm where the rear tyre bolts on seems to bend and im forever straighting it out from grinding :(
Similar Products Used:Redline Romp
Bike Setup:Stock frame, bars, headset, rims and tyres. 41 thermal forks, Mongoose Pro crank arms although getting Odyssey Wombolt crank there crazy, Odyssey Jim Cielencki Pedals, Odyssey Gedda 2 Grips (there crazy any1 looking for good durable grips try them)
Bottom Line:Great bike. Perfect for 1st bike buyer IF they have money to replace the forks otherwise fantastic. Dont be a fool and pay as much as i did for it there so much cheaper now :) DO not buy if a little on the week side as they are heavy and hard to get air on untill you are use to it. This can be a problem for new BMXer's as they lose confidence and quit :(

Favorite Trail:Where ever
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $255.00
Purchased At:Scheels Bike Shop
Strengths:It took anything I could manage to dish out which quite a bit. really strong frame awesome bars (a little wide though)the crank and drive system is awesome too.
Weaknesses:As most have said it's a little heavy and if you like taking big drops I recommend buying a chromoly fork or a thicker steel fork and a good wheelset and your good to go!
Similar Products Used:Redline RL360
Bike Setup:all stock except wheels, odyssey hazard lite rims and hazard hubs
Bottom Line:this is a great bike I recommend it for anyone with a medium budget but wants a good strong bike to take to the local trails. Buy it if you like catching huge air but want a bike to take abuse but if you plan on just riding to a friends house go to walmart im sure they have something for ya.

Submitted by Neal Langeberg a from Tacoma, Wa
Date Reviewed: May 21, 2006
Favorite Trail:Victor Falls
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $17.00
Purchased At:Goodwill
Strengths:Good heavy frame, ok fork.
Weaknesses:week seat and crapy grips. Always buying new rims.
Similar Products Used:a few other Redline bikes
Bike Setup:stock, except for Alex Supra rims and about a million stickers
Bottom Line:The bottom line is this bike is good. I bought it second hand and it still held up after every jump. I'm still bit of a beginner but the bike is good for me. I'd sugest this bike for a beginner that is still testing the ropes, because you can wipe it good and still have a working bike.

Submitted by Fastkilr Cal Kemph a Weekend Warrior from Klahanie Washington USA
Date Reviewed: February 13, 2004
Favorite Trail:A-Line
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $400.00
Purchased At: Pacific Bicycle
Strengths:Durabale and heavy, the single X is one of the best Dirt Jumping bikes available at its relativly-low price point. It hasn't broken yet, and looks awesome.
Weaknesses:It is very heavy and can slow you down at times. Although a jumping bike, it may not deliver as much as the Supa X if you are willing to shell out a couple more dollars.
Similar Products Used:Many other red-line bikes.
Bike Setup:Just as sold. Only modification is on the grips, and I fixed the chain and pulled off the gaurd.
Bottom Line:The bike is very durable and has lasted me through every crash. It will not break most likely. The only problem I potentialy see is that it can be a little hard for begginers.

Submitted by Steve (again) a from Bay Shore
Date Reviewed: July 13, 2003
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $300.00
Purchased At:Frenchy's
Strengths:Nice looking,sturdy,hasn't really broken on me yet,
Weaknesses:The brakes are a tad on the weak side once they are broken in and used frequently
Similar Products Used:Redline 440 (1998)
Bike Setup:Stock (besides pegs)
Bottom Line:Marvelous bike. Absolutely marvelous. A little heavy, which is good in a way because if you can jam on a heavy bike, lighter bikes are no problem. Perfect for riders who are big, (I'm 6 foot 180 lbs.,but it could probably stand up to even the biggest rider), but don't have the budget to get titanium components. If you have the money, you might want to go for the Redline Supa X, which is more money, but a better bike...
