from Hali, NS, Can.Date Reviewed: February 22, 2004
Strengths: Geomitery, main frame.Weaknesses: rear end, head tube.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.
Favorite Trail: MArtock..lol

Strengths: Strong Frame, PriceWeaknesses: Rear Rock Shox Delux shock, suspension bob, And weak front fork, Front derailer setupBottom 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.

from BC/CanadaDate Reviewed: May 14, 2002
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.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.
