from Knoxville, TN Date Reviewed: February 26, 2009 Strengths: This thing is solid! After six years of use, the only I've had to do is change out the cables and keep it lubed. The weight isn't bad for its price range, and the components have held up better than I could've asked. Despite what others seem to have experienced, the front shocks have been great for me! Weaknesses: Wheels went out of true very quickly. The rear shock has no lock so you bounce everywhere you go (shock quality isn't too terrible though). I wish that the rear triangle was alloy and not steel. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Depends on the day Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Dick's Sporting Good Similar Products Used: Cannondale Scalpel, Cannondale Rush, Raleigh hardtail, various other Huffy/Mongoose type bikes in my younger days. Bike Setup: Stock

from Detroit Date Reviewed: March 22, 2007 Strengths: For the price, you couldn't beat it at the time. Most components can take as much of a beating as a new rider can give it, but you will outgrow the bike. Weaknesses: Stock forks suck. They lasted 3 real rides before they were bent. Weighs a ton, but for the price, not really a weakness.

from Jacko Heights NY Date Reviewed: November 30, 2003 Strengths: Weight (cmon, for this price range?) Components are pretty good. i flipped (still don't konw where those steps came from?) several times and i can tell you this bike can take a beating, even tho i weigh 240 lbs. And last but not the least, the rear hubs are QUIET. i have a jamis dakar sport now but i really miss not having to hear those annoying tick ticks. (once you get use to not hearing them, those tick ticks intensify once you use a bike that has normal hubs) Weaknesses: damn good looks got it stolen from me. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: favorite tail? Duration Product Used: 2 Years Bike Setup: stock

from PA Date Reviewed: August 9, 2003 Strengths: It has a really great price for what you get.It is also extremly durable. The two years i've had it I have only needed to replace the cables for the brakes and shifters. I have used it on some pretty rough XC stuff (Logs,rock,etc.) and have had very few problems with the chainring bending. this is one tough cookie. Weaknesses: The fork isnt anything special. Damage from chain slaping. And of course the stock tires. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything with rocks Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: Dick's Sporting Goods Similar Products Used: Giant Bike Setup: Stock except for the cables, nashbar clipless pedals and Mavic 517/Shimano LX Wheels. Getting disc brakes.
