from tx Date Reviewed: June 5, 2011 Strengths: Looks great, have always liked the looks of KHS. Fork is decent. Frame excluding the rear swing arm is bombproof. Weaknesses: Rear shock is the worst piece of junk ever, suspension design and swing arm is bad. The rear derailleur hanger is part of the frame and broke off on me. Not great components. Twist shift, grips come off always, very heavy bike. You get what you pay for. Seat post way too long. Shock spring is way too stiff. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $341.00 Purchased At: bike shop Similar Products Used: Only thing that is similar is any walmart bike, but 10 years ago when I get it, it was a little better than those. Bike Setup: Stock except been through 3 rear derailleurs. I bought this thing when I was 13 or 14 and was probably shorter than I am now which is 5'6" or so. The bike store guy sold me a LARGE which I could barely ride and now looking back on it I have no idea how I did. Guess he needed to get that one sold for the new year models. The frame sizes run bigger than they say, large is more like XL.

from Southampton, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: September 16, 2003 Strengths: I really like the construction of the frame. I also really like the front fork. The crank isn't all that bad for the starter class the bike is. I really enjoy drops so I put the bike through a lot of beatings and it seems to withstand. Weaknesses: Definatly the GripShift and the rear suspension. The suspension is not even all that bad unless you do some 5 foot drops. Ohh ya the pedals wear out real quick! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Brant Tract Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: Local Bike Shop Similar Products Used: Supercycle 21DS Bike Setup: All stock except new pedals

from Cedar Rapids, IA Date Reviewed: July 23, 2003 Strengths: The frame seems to be designed and built very well. Overall I really like the bike. Once I get rid of the crap they call the rear shock I think it will be a better bike. Weaknesses: The componants that suck are: REAR SHOCK sucks a lot, grip twist shifter, headset, rear shock, front drrailleur, crankset, brakes. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: Ebay

from Calgary Alberta Canada Date Reviewed: May 3, 2003 Strengths: Frame,Derailleurs ,Front Suspension Weaknesses: Rear Suspension isn't the greatest only has a sag setting. Grip Shift (Terrible)it changes gears whenever it feels like not when you want it to change, Upgraded to rapid fire immediately. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: Cactus Bike & Ski Similar Products Used: Norco Screamer goood for someone on a budget too heavey for my liking. Jamis Dakar XLT 1.0 Great bike all around hydraulic disc brakes is the best thing ever. Head Funk one of my first MTB's, it was great for the years that I had it but now i'm interested in getting more aggressive and it's just not up to par anymore, only has front suspension and it's not the greatest.
