from San Antonio, TXDate Reviewed: January 12, 2005
Strengths: Superior ride and absolutely fantastic components. I've had zero problems with the bike and it has been well usedWeaknesses: I have yet to find a weakness. One modification i've done is a remote lockout for the Fox Float RL in the rear. Greatly helps climbing to lock on the flyBottom Line: Fantastic bike and i highly recommend it to anyone who can ride at or above an intermediate level. It surely has made me a better rider. I have yet to reach the limitations of the bike, which means that I'm holding myself back at this point. I did take the bike off a 10' drop and it performed flawlessly (too bad the rider didn't....ouch) WORTH EVERY LAST CENT!

Strengths: GREAT BIKE FOR PRICE. FULL SUSPENSION WITH LOCKING BACK SUSPENSION. FRONT FORK IS ADJUSTABLE FOR THE RIDERS PREFERENCE. BIKE IS EXTREMELY LIGHT AND TAKES CORNERS WELL.Weaknesses: NO DISC BRAKES!!!!! WITH ALL THE VARIOUS UPGRADES HARO COULD HAVE INCLUDED DISC BRAKES.Bottom Line: THIS WAS A GREAT PRICE FOR HOW MUCH BIKE + ACCESSORIES I RECEIVED. I CAN HIT TRAILS & RACES AND COMPETE WITH MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE MOUNTAIN BIKES. THE THUMB ACTION GEAR SHIFTING MAKES GETTING IN AND OUT OF SEVERAL GEARS SEEM ALMOST EFFORTLESS. I AM DEFINITELY SATISFIED WITH THE PURCHASE.

from Port Charlotte Fl.Date Reviewed: April 2, 2003
Strengths: Light weight,surprisingly stiff ride,great climber and jumper. Shifts like a dream.Weaknesses: Flat handle bars and the stem was way to long (all easily fixed).Not as much clearance as I expected other wise this bike kicks major ass.Bottom Line: As a cross country bike this bike rocks. Cornering takes a little getting used to if your'e used to a bike with a shorter wheel base. Believe me its worth the effort. This bike makes me a better rider than I really am. The Fox Float is totally adjustable and can be locked out on the fly and the front fork inspires total confidence. This bike will have you grinning from ear to ear as you smoke the trail. BUY THIS BIKE you'll be glad you did
