from Quebec Date Reviewed: September 10, 1999 | | Favorite Trail: | Rougemont!! | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Light Wheels SID Shock XTR Good Components! | | Weaknesses: | Decals | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized M2 Rocky Mtn Element Race | | Bike Setup: | Stock...only added RaceFace seatpost and bars | | Bottom Line: | If you live in Canada and are a XC racer...this bike is a GREAT choice! It comes with a bunch of really nice components at a great price...SID, XTR brakes, Easton Elite 60 ATB frame, and best of all...nice light Crosslink wheels with Wildgripper tires. This is a well thought out setup for anyone who wants to be competitive in XC racing. The frame is nicely welded and the chainstays are stiff and ovalizerd with a replaceable hanger. The frame has a lifetime warranty and is very light at 1585g (3.49 lbs). The bike comes powdercoated but the only drawback is a cheapo decal set that comes off easily. About the only bike that comes close (in this catagory) is the Specialized M4....but everybody and their sister has one of these. | Overall Rating: |
