$250.00 | | Purchased At: | Bicycle Warehouse | | Strengths: | Price (frame & rear shock only), very efficient pedaling, excellent handling. | | Weaknesses: | Squeaky rear shock (seal noise; smearing a little Ice Wax around seal keeps it quiet), rear section of frame looks a little clunky and over manipulated. | | Similar Products Used: | KHS FXT, Mongoose, Specialized fsr, Blur | | Bike Setup: | Built with a lot of spare parts; WTB wheels, Duke fork, XT disc brakes, hollowtech cranks, carbon fiber bars, WTB seat, etc. | | Bottom Line: | This is the best handling, easiest pedaling bike I have ever ridden. Extremely stable, yet very sharp handling. I bought the frame to take advantage of my growing collection of spare parts as I updated my primary bike. It was to be a spare, and a bike I could loan to friends wanting to try trail riding. This apparently was not a popular bike, so I was astounded with its performance. It outweighs my other bike, yet outperforms it in every way. I dont know that it is a good value as a complete bike at list price, but for what I have invested in it, it is fabulous. all of my riding buddies have commented that I am riding better and faster. That is really the bottom line. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 7, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Action Bikes | | Strengths: | Good components for the price, bike rides very solid. Rear shock is pretty tunable. Never owning f/s bike, cannot really compare it, definately makes hard trail riding more fun! | | Weaknesses: | I had a lot of chain slap, replaced the long cage XT rear derailure w/a short cage and removed a link. This helped a lot. Phsylo fork is weak, it does flex like others have stated, will replace with Z1 FR soon. So far am very happy with it, though I am not heaving it off any 6 foot drops like the young guys! | | Similar Products Used: | Nothing close to modern... | | Bike Setup: | Stock. Bought a shock pump to play w/shock pressure. | | Bottom Line: | Really like this bike, fit and finish is great. Expected more squeaks/rattles from a 5/6 inch travel bike, still rides quiet and smooth after several rides.My take is that it is a pretty damn nice bike. Since its' the only F/S that I have ever owned, will not give it a 5 (that just would not be right). Since nobody has rated this fype of Fuji, will follow up after time goes by. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
