Date Reviewed: February 27, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | nice and lite | | Weaknesses: | brake maintenance | | Bike Setup: | I installed a shorter stem, grips and changed tires | | Bottom Line: | Awesome bike, being a pure race designed frame, is fast and quick, feels like a little sports car, with the new headshock, don't feel all that mass up front as compared to any other fork systems, great spread on gearing as is only 2X9, some flex in frame,a litte more effort is required to shift the esp grip style shifters, the disc brakes work quite well, but one must maintenance them (keep them clean) Very pretty bike, makes you feel like a star when riding Definitely for the advanced racer/rider | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
