$300.00 | | Strengths: | - Frame strength; Steal (fully sick maaate)
- Geometry
- Looks sweet
| | Weaknesses: | Paint could be a little better quality | | Similar Products Used: | - Specicialized P2
- Giant STP
- Norco DJ | | Bike Setup: | DMR Trailstar frame, XT drivetrain, Hayes carbon discs, White Industries hubs on Rhino Light rims, Race Face bars and stem. My forks are sh$t however; Psylo's; im upgrading to some Fox 125RC soon. | | Bottom Line: | This is one seriously good product folks:
The geometry is absolutely spot on; you can use it for a trailbike or a dirt jumper (Some say its a good street bike too but the geometry isnt quite there i reckon). The bike is really comfortable in the air, and its very manouverable having very short chainstay's.
The frame material is (steal) chromoly; steal has much more flex than aluminium and when leaving a jump you can spring it into the air. Its also smooth over the rough sh$t. But its also a seriously strong frame too.
And also, the bike looks sweet; nice graphics and stuff.
Overall, buy it...you wont be dissapointed. Pitty about the paint, not that i really care though.. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
