Date Reviewed: August 15, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | Wendover woods | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Price Paid: |
$1250.00 | | Strengths: | A simple design that works! Quite light and able to be kitted out for whatever you want. First used as trail / cross country with SPD's Judy's & 3 1/2" rear c/o Noleen. Now with Z1,s risers & 4 1/2" rear travel as Freeride. Hope discs next. | | Weaknesses: | Basic bushings, Weak standard spring. Original 63mm front travel was a mismatch. | | Similar Products Used: | GT LTS. Kona Cone | | Bike Setup: | Z1 QR20's 110mm, 26" bars, Noleen NR1 650lb spring & Goldtec LT plates. | | Bottom Line: | Still one of the best from the late 90's. Still alive & kicking. Becoming a retro DH rig. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
