Bottom line is this a fine bike, wish K2 would bring back a big hitter, they hit the mark with the tirade and it disappeared, why? | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 29, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Suspension, frame, brakes | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | 99 SuperV900 disc | | Bike Setup: | Stock | | Bottom Line: | Frame feels solid! Compared to my cannondale superV it's night and day. My superV had frame flex and many squeaks to it, awkwardness, and limited travel. On the K2 I luv the adjustable travel, brake set, and overall feel of this FS. Stock components are what I was looking for. Bought new to avoid ebay no warranty hassle on used bikes. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$900.00 | | Purchased At: | supergo | | Strengths: | good brakes,strong frame, good rear and front suspension. | | Weaknesses: | a little bit heavy | | Similar Products Used: | ie3 gt | | Bike Setup: | avid mech-disk brakes, manitou black 100/120mm fork, deore and xt shimano components, fox vanilla (rear suspension) 6,5 and 4 inches of travel, truvative components. | | Bottom Line: | soft riding feel going up and downhills (great suspension), after riding a hard-tail for 6 months now i feel like flying, excellent brakes, disk brakes are worth the additional weight, for the $900 bucks i paid is a great bike, I was afraid about the weight but "nowayjose" you don´t feel it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$900.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo | | Strengths: | Has great components, both front and rear suspension adjustable; Front: 100-120 cm and Rear: 4-6 inches. | | Weaknesses: | Does not have a weakness if you use it for what it is made for. | | Similar Products Used: | Giant Gary Kona ect. | | Bottom Line: | In my opinion the best part is the adjustable suspension. It is the best bike in it's category by far for the money. You can get better but it is gioing to cost you a shade under $2000. Overall great bike for the money! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$875.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo (in town) | | Strengths: | PRICE! For the money, you just can't get a better group of components. Mtn Bike Action had rave reviews for the 5.0; this bike has a real solid feel to it. | | Weaknesses: | Can't see wearing clipless pedals on a downhill / freeride / trail bike. Other than that, maybe the headset. It is a Ritchey, however. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Big Hit FSR, GT iDrive 3.0 | | Bike Setup: | Stock from the factory with all the bells and whistles. Avid Mech. disks, Deore / LX drivetrain, TruVativ cranks, Manitou and Fox suspension...a bargain hunter's dream! | | Bottom Line: | I haven't really had an opportunity to put this bike through it's paces. However, Mtn. Bike Action loved the 5.0 and Uncle Sam gave me back some money this year, so I figured "why not?". I'll post a follow up after I beat it up. Oh yeah, the guys at Supergo slimed the tires for me for $20, and gave me free flat repair forever (no kiding). The brake and derailluer adjustments are free for the life of the bike too. They encouraged me to go out and ride the heck out of it and bring it back in for the free 30 day tune-up. See ya in 30, it's time to ride! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
