from Marion, OhDate Reviewed: May 31, 2002
Strengths: Very lightweight bike even with the disc brakes. The bike comes stock with an excellent component package, superb front shock and flashy cool looks. The frame geometry is extremely comfortable and efficient for me (6'2", this thing feels like a missile whether going up or down! Tons of one finger stopping power with the Hayes hydraulics, even at 185 pounds (will never go back to V breaks).Weaknesses: mmmmmmmmm......let me think.........NONE!! I have seen others rag on the Jones AC tires, but go to the Bontrager web site and he tells you they are not good for mud. They seem to do very well everywhere else.Bottom Line: This bike gets the big thumbs up!! It comes stock ready to race or hammer down that local trail. If you can float the cash, this is the bike to own. I am a bigger fairly aggressive rider, and I like things that don't break or leave me stranded in the forest. So far, this bike has been flawless. It is very predictable and handles anything I can throw at it. In a nutshell, I love the bike and I garuanty you will too.
Favorite Trail: Mohican Wilderness (few people, NO ATV's)
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Purchased At: Rocky's Cyclery
Similar Products Used: Trek 7000
Bike Setup: Cut about 2" off the stock bars, other than that, completely stock.
