Date Reviewed: May 16, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$1400.00 | | Purchased At: | An expensive place | | Strengths: | Strong bike, one really feels like giving it a hard time. It just wants you to take it to the xtremes. Paintjob TO DIE FOR, good components - except for the Magura julie brakes. | | Weaknesses: | Maybe it´s a Dane-thing, but I bent the screw that holds the seatpost, too. Kind of a dissapointment - watch the vids here www.torst.webbyen.dk ...
The Julie brakes don´t really fit into the picture, they´re touringbrakes for f***s sake. | | Similar Products Used: | Bighit Comp, GT Avalanche 1.0 | | Bike Setup: | Standard 1.0 | | Bottom Line: | Perfect bike for weekend XC warriors (too heavy to go pro),
dual slalom (even hardcore and pro),
downhill (even hardcore hardtail DH) and
freeride (pretty hardcore too).
The bike´s really strong enough to take all you can give it, and it´s a real piece of eyecandy. Go for it, it´s the best hardcore-allrounder out there at that price. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 9, 2003 | | Favorite Trail: | drops and "easy" downhill (we haven't got any hill/mountains i Denmark) | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$1100.00 | | Purchased At: | a danish shop ( a lot of tax paid due to a stinking govenment)) | | Strengths: | The frame- seems unbreakable. I like the fact that the gearsystem is quite cheap cuz i'm going to smash it up anyway | | Weaknesses: | I broke the 5 millimeter bolt/screw (don't know what it's called) holding the seat in position after about 4 hours of riding | | Similar Products Used: | Marin?, B1 extreme dual (http://www.beone-bikes.com), Scott (one of my mates fully) | | Bike Setup: | like Ruckus 1.0 but with Shimano Mechanical disc (avid) | | Bottom Line: | If one want's to have a lot of low cost fun this is the bike.
In some way I like the mechanical breaks better as I can easily repair them when im out jumping/crashing.
The big handles well on big drops. I did a 10 ft drop with out any trouble at all ( but it would have been nice with a little rear suspention)
ride and enjoy. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
