Date Reviewed: August 5, 2003 | | Favorite Trail: | The Wood Lot network in Maple Ridge | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Its a Kick ass west coast built bike! ITs tough and light. (mine weights in at 39 lbs.) The Devo handles 5-6ft drops with ease, and kicks ass on the fast single track and dirt jumping. | | Weaknesses: | The new Hayes brakes have a tacky friction fit plug where you bleed them from by the lever, it popped off and puked oil everywhere. I lost the plug and my front brake for the entire day. That sucked. | | Bike Setup: | Rock Shox Boxxer Race, Fox Vanilla RC, Hayes Brakes, XT components, single track rims, Maxxis rubber. | | Bottom Line: | This bike is bomb proof. Its great to see a relatively small BC company pumping out such rock solid bikes. Go get yourself one. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$2000.00 | | Purchased At: | Brodie Devo | | Strengths: | This bike kicks some serious ass, it's a great flatlander free stylin and downhill bike.
this was my second bike and the only one that could hold up to jumps and ramps over 5"!
| | Weaknesses: | The only weaknesses were the climbing capabilities with it being 200 pounds that weighs you down going up steep hills the other weakness is it's stock componet cranckset I upgradeed to higher quality set for better pedaling but the rest is all original and runing like a dream | | Similar Products Used: | The brodie products are quite unique in an awesome way in that they have extremly sturdy and surprisingly loght and tough frames the only others wold be from Kona | | Bike Setup: | all original setup w/ new shimano deore xt over shifters and new shimano pro crankset | | Bottom Line: | the bottom line is that this kick ass bike can hold its own plus some but when your ready for a serious downhill and freestyle bike come and look the devo up
