from Zajecar, Serbia Date Reviewed: January 19, 2007 Strengths: Great Dynamic strenght, rear suspension travel, adjustable head angle, enduro geometry, weight - without rear suspension just 2850 g. "L" - size Weaknesses: Octane need specific triple chainwheel if you want to work it properly by the book. Shimano parts can work if you make smaller tuning with e type front deralieur carrier (need to be thin as posssible - 1mm durAl "L" profile works well - carbon plate is too much with 2.7mm, specially XTR)BB need to be 110mm wide MAX, otherwise chain line looks terrible wrong and chain life time reduced greatly,not to speak about gear change which rattles and sreacks and scracks in low speeds. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: All mountain ride and any DH I can find Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $700.00 Purchased At: Codex, MTB Shop Similar Products Used: GT XCR 2000, Giant AC 1 Bike Setup: Scott seat post, stem Truvativ 3D XR(Scott dirt), Bontrager DH handlebar, deralieur (F) XTR e-type (R) XT, rear suspension fox vanilla, front s. RST Delta HL very much tuned - 130mm travel AIR, Kenda 2.1 tyres, DT Champion spokes, XT 9 speed cassette, LX front chainwheel, ZAC 19 rims, hubs Shimano M475, Mechanical disc brakes M475 higly tuned.

from Vilseck, Germany Date Reviewed: July 16, 2002 Strengths: Good downhill ride for someone under 150 LBS. Not as heavy as most DH extreme bikes. Lots of room to adjust on the fork. Weaknesses: Really soft suspension. If you are over 150 lbs you better get something a little more adjustable as far as strength. Brakes kinda sucked, but it was a rental so it should be expected and I do weigh 230 lbs. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Pottenstien Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Rented at the BMW bikepark in Deggendorf, Germany Similar Products Used: Scott High Octane Bike Setup: Downhill rental.

from England Date Reviewed: March 23, 2002 Strengths: The Bike has loads of strenths these are a few : - It is super strong taking loads of abuse - The rear has about 6 1/2 inches of very plush travel to soak up all the big hits you can throw at it - It easily adjusts into a heavy duty 4 inch cross country machine - The weight isnt too heavy in my opinion ( 33lbs ) and ive done 30 miles on it no problem - The frame looks absolutely stunning with some really nice engineering which makes it look the full moneys worth - Every one looks at it, superb pose value Weaknesses: None other than a high asking price but its still cheaper than some other bikes out there which are not as good. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any Off Road ! Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $2600.00 Purchased At: Two Wheels England Bike Setup: Marzocchi Z1 forks, Hope Enduro 4 Pot Brakes, Mavic F519 rims with Hope Hubs and XT & XTR gears etc.
