Strengths: Solid frame, great Marzocchi forks, simple but reliable brakes. Can't fault all the little things either!Weaknesses: None as yet!Bottom Line: Great beginners bike. Perfect if you're curious about getting a little muddier on those weekend bike rides, and it'll last you a long time if you look after it too. Can take a fair bit of punishment, so all those knocks and falls are no problem.
Favorite Trail: Humber Br. Country park.

Strengths: ...Weaknesses: chain too large, stock forks are... horrible, rims are also horrible. very bad top cap, breaks very easily when installing new forks.Bottom Line: it's basically NOT meant for downhill, but if its all you can afford, and are ready to buy replacement parts for it in a week if you are doing anything other than light riding, go for it.

from nsw orange australiaDate Reviewed: December 3, 2007
Strengths: i am a light rider so the forks were pretty good with a fair bit of distance it is also light making it very controlable and is comfortable and fast for those simple tracks but for a harder trail this bike really neads to be a duallyWeaknesses: the discs can be done up there sought of slow i broke em and the cranks are very week so when u bye this bike UPGRADE THEM IMMEDIATLY.Bottom Line: its a good bike for a begginer but could use a better crank so dont hit the jumps without a landing ramp it is a good allrounder and has very good control i would recomend it to the riders just beggining ther freeride dowmhill style
