Date Reviewed: February 22, 2004 | | Favorite Trail: | MArtock..lol | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Jon Conrads old frame | | Strengths: | Geomitery, main frame. | | Weaknesses: | rear end, head tube. | | Similar Products Used: | RM6 | | Bike Setup: | Z1 mcr, rinolite XL/DM24, hussies, KujoDH/tiogaDH, hayes hydro/radius, other sh!t. | | Bottom Line: | Great frame. wicked for drops, and tight technical sh!t. You wanna throw on a DC fork, or a 24inch wheel in the back for DH, this will slacken out out the geo a little bit.
The bike rides like it has 2-3 inches more travel, fear less on drops and jump. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1200.00 | | Purchased At: | Wild Willies | | Strengths: | Strong Frame, Price | | Weaknesses: | Rear Rock Shox Delux shock, suspension bob, And weak front fork, Front derailer setup | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Big Hit, Cannondale Gemini 1000, Specialized Enduro, Giant DH comp | | Bike Setup: | Jr T Pro, Mavic 321, Fox Vanilla RC, Amoeba 1.5 inch riser bar, Maxxis Highrollers 2.5, Hayes Hydro brakes with 8 inch front rotor and Crankcase Chain guard | | Bottom Line: | After the upgrades (especially the Vanilla RC and JR T) this bike completely changed the way it rode from being an entry level downhill/freeride bike to something that can easily be raced in mountaincross or DH. It's also made in Canada and a bit of an exotic on the west coast. Just buy it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1950.00 | | Strengths: | The frame is bombproof, very well made and cool to look at. Parts spec. @ this price is amazing... disc's, singletrack rims, 2.5 maxxis, etc.... The psylo with the u-turn feature is great for a freeride bike, allows you to lower the front for climbs(slow climbs because of weight of bike 36lb.). It has 6" and disc's, @ this price that is wild. | | Weaknesses: | Have not found any yet, besides weight, but that comes with all freeride/downhill bikes out there. | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | The bottom line is that this bike rides like a $4000 freeride bike (super plush and agile handling). Put a triple clamp on it and it could be the perfect "North Shore" bike. Stock it could be the perfect freeride bike. All of this for under $2000! Buy it, you won't be sorry. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
