Submitted by John a Downhiller from LA
Date Reviewed: May 2, 1999
Favorite Trail:
T2
Duration Product Used:
less than 1 month
Strengths:
Lots of travel
(get the 6 inch kit)
Weaknesses:
Not a great climber but there are a lot that are
worse.
Bottom Line:A really cool bike. Actually what I got is kind of like an X9. Its got the Z-1 and a whole bunch of other stuff from an X-10 parts kit and my own misc. stuff lying around the garage. It climbs slow but if you mess with the preload that helps a lot. Going down it is awesome. I can actually keep my expert level friends in sight on their M1s. It is a really good bike especially for the money. Very plush.
Overall Rating:4
