Strengths: Climbs v. well. Frame strength. Responsive during descents.Weaknesses: Good components for the price, but definitely upgradeable, especially the Indy shocks it orginally came with.Bottom Line: This bike has lasted for a decade now with no problems even though I'm a clydesdale who rides it rough. Blew two rear rims in urban assault, but the frame keeps truckin'. Bought it in high school with all my savings from a summer job and couldn't have done better.

Strengths: stiffWeaknesses: weight!!!!!!!!!! cracked the head tube 1/8"wide and 2.5' long...Bottom Line: tempest was the bottomline aluminum frame when I bought it...a year later and several dropoffs to prove I cracked the headtube and sent the frame back for a new one...I got a backwoods on the return and it has been bulletproof for 6 years now...tempest would make a good commuter...not good for hard riding

Strengths: Esta bike possui um quadro forte e bem desenhado para XC, podendo ser usado para Dual-slallon nos tamanhos pequenos.Weaknesses: Em algumas versões vem com suspensões muito fracas e alguns componentes tipo cubos, aros e pé-de-vela que nescessitam de futuro Up-grade!Bottom Line: É uma boa bike para inicio, apesar do seu quadro pesar um pouquinho já que é construido em Cromoly porém mais forte!
Acrescentei uma boa suspensão para os trancos e barrancos das trilhas.
Só não gosto dos cabos dos câmbios passando por baixo do tubo inferior do quadro, mais é uma boa bike para iniciar no XC-MTB.

from Toronto, ONDate Reviewed: June 8, 2000
Strengths: The triple triangle keeps the frame straight up top and the low riser bar keeps your jewels from getting squishedWeaknesses: the dropout bends easy and the headstock wore loose after two ridesBottom Line: I like the bike but within a month, my hard riding had bent the rear drop-out severely. It spent 2 weeks in the shop and the LX rear derailer had to be replaced (with XT of course) See a picture at www.canadiancycle.com under pictures
Favorite Trail: zig-zagging through mean toronto traffic
Duration Product Used: 6 months
