Date Reviewed: August 25, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | This Baby represents a unique offshoot in MTB evolution. It's frame and componetry work together as a sort of bumb eating, downhilling, comfortable crosscountry, steep hill climbing mountain goat on steroids.Specs highlghts include the Marzochhi MX-3(best fork ever made) with SSV and Julie magura Discs (these brakes could stop a charging Rhino..or maybe just a Rhino light) | | Weaknesses: | When I bought it I had the LBS in Stockton swap out the tires for the WTB Mutanoraptor 2.4s and switched the pedals to Richie clipless(a personal favorite). I also put on my Rockshock seatpost. This effectivly eliminated the only flaws in specs and with the big light tires and the seatpost make this a very cush bike. | | Bottom Line: | This is a Hardtail.You can stand up and hammer.
It has a 4" increadibly well designed and smooth fork.It has hydraulic discs. It has(now that I had them put on)superwide lightweight tires.So this bike will travel fast downhill with great comfort or roll over small bumbs as if they didn't exist.
A slack and strong frame with good clearence make hopping logs easy,jumping a little scary with the ease of obtaining altitude.
I have to conclude that this is the best MTB ever made or that ever will be made. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
