$995.00 | | Purchased At: | Tucson, AZ | | Strengths: | Purchased New. Great value, built like a tank. Excellent on downhills that are rutted. This is a great bike for Fantasy Island a great local MTB course at Tucson. I set a Personel best time shaving 2 min off my Gary fisher's time. Handles well on this race course. | | Weaknesses: | This bike can not climb well. It added at least 5 minutes to my vicious mountain terrain course in San Dog. It's heavy, and the wheels are stout. Great for level terrain, and longevity. | | Similar Products Used: | Gary Fisher dual susp Joshua | | Bike Setup: | LX all over, Xt rear De, LX Disc brakes | | Bottom Line: | A nice stout heavy tank that likes going down. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$900.00 | | Purchased At: | friend who is getting DH bike | | Strengths: | everything, price and components. XT deraillers, shifters and TruVativ Stylo Cranks, Hydro brakes really nice stopping power. FSR technology prevents rear shock bob. execellent climbing.
| | Weaknesses: | shocks are difficult to adjust. Not very versatile if you want to do some occassional dh the rear shock does not assorb enough. A bit on the heavy side but thats not too bad. | | Similar Products Used: | SGS sport, Rockhopper FS, BBJ! | | Bike Setup: | stock except some newer beefer wheels | | Bottom Line: | GOOD bike for price all the right components but make sure your after XC cause thats what its good for.
