Submitted by Anthony a Weekend Warrior from Kirkland, WA, USA
Date Reviewed: May 15, 2000
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Strengths:Sturdy, Full Suspension for a cheap price.
Weaknesses:Extremely heavy, making adjustments a little too often.
Bottom Line:The price for a full suspension bike is not bad but would spend my money on something else. Unless your a hard core rider who wants a cheap bike this is not the bike for you.
Weekend warriors will find this bike is too heavy.

Bottom Line:Excellent full suspension bike for people with little money. I like everything about this bike except maintaneance seems a bit more often. Right now, the rear shock part that bends is squeaking alot for me.
