$700.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Solid bike for the money. Frame is fairly light and very strong. Bike handles and balances very well. | | Weaknesses: | None so far. | | Similar Products Used: | trek,gary fisher. | | Bike Setup: | Cane creek rear shock, Manitou Mars Elite fork, Rolf wheels, XT components, Avid SD7 brakes and levers. | | Bottom Line: | A very good dual suspension for the money. For the price you can afford to upgrade some of the components and have a bike that will compete with the big boys. I have done a few upgrades and I have the weight down to 25lbs. Not bad for a dual suspension. I weigh around 190lbs and race cross country. No problems in 2 years of use.
I highly recommend these bikes for someone on a budget yet wants a good bike that will give years of service. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$550.00 | | Strengths: | Good entry level bike for the price. Frame isn't bulky like a lot of lower end suspension bikes. | | Weaknesses: | nothing specific yet.
Lighter is always better if frame strength is not sacrificed | | Similar Products Used: | Schwinn S-30, Specialized, Sugar 4 | | Bike Setup: | Factory, no modifications yet | | Bottom Line: | This is an excellent bike for owning full suspension without shelling out tons of money. The front and rear suspension can be upgraded if I decide to go that far. For my needs, I can't see any reason to buy another bike. I would recommend this bike to anyone in the novice to intermediate category. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
