from Ottawa Date Reviewed: August 12, 2011 Strengths: Love this bike, especially for the price paid. This is a very sturdy bike, light weight and the ride is smooth. Shifting is very smooth as well. I now have close to 75k on it already and I definatly love this bike. The one I have is Red and White Sorrento 2011. Boutht at sportchek. Price was 350$ on sale for 250$ but idiots at Barhaven Sportchek in Ottawa made huge mistake so the took 50$ off. Paid 199$. Weaknesses: As all the other posts, the seat is not that comfertable and the plastic pedals dont impress me. I have not had any issues with the pedals as of yet. Changing them anyway this week for metal ones. The seat will also be changed very soon. Bike looks great. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Carillon Park Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $199.00 Purchased At: Sportchek Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Disk brakes, front suspension that locks awsome bike!

from Macomb, Michigan, USA Date Reviewed: July 20, 2010 Strengths: It's a solidly built, (mostly)quality product. The thumb shift mechanism is astronomically better than the twist-grip shifter I was used to. The brakes are amazing, and the stock tires seem to be holding up well. Weaknesses: The stock pedals were rubbish. I broke both of them, but they were replaced with a pair of Diamondback steel ones. The deraillure setup has failed on me twice, and the entire back wheel has been replaced due to an internal ratchet issue. If I stopped pedaling, the ratchet wouldn't lock, so I'd have to pedal like crazy, to catch up to where I was in the wheel. The front fork is entirely too soft in my mind. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Backwoods area 3 miles from my home Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $320.00 Purchased At: Dick's Sporting Good Similar Products Used: I haven't owned another bike that lasted more than 3 months. I kill bikes, so this one, lasting over a year, is a great product. Bike Setup: Stock except for the new steel pedals and a Bell handlebar light (a ride in the dark ended badly, it's precautionary)

from porter ranch Date Reviewed: September 28, 2009 Strengths: This bike handles well and the frame seems sturdy. The brakes stop great for rim brakes as well. Much of this could be irrevelant seeing that I am only 14, 5ft. 6in. and 120 lbs. Weaknesses: The fork cant handle any sort of shock, at all. The wheels are weak and even i was able to bend them pretty bad. The brakes don't like to stay adjusted. This bike also does not like changing gears or goinf up hills. The chain also has a habit of coming out of place. It is a little heavy as well for such a simple set up but that is reflected from the price. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: tampa land, offroad Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $280.00 Purchased At: Sports Chalet Similar Products Used: T Any bike found at the "high-end" area at walmart. Bike Setup: 16in. fully stock.

from Overland Park, Ks, USA Date Reviewed: July 14, 2009 Strengths: Rode well for the first four months, good bike for a teenager looking for a solid ride around a neighborhood. Weaknesses: There's a problem with the gears. I've taken it back to Dick's twice but they've got no idea what's going on. I purchased a service warranty for it so all the work that's been done on it has been free, but it's still frustrating. The second time I took it in they replaced the crank, but that still doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. Without this problem, it would be a really solid bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Creekside Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: Dick's Sporting Good
