Strengths:    
$$$
Talk about bang for the buck here it is. This bike retails just under $1200 but don't pay that for it, its always on sale. For the money you get a decent entry level dual suspension bike.


Weaknesses:    
Sooner or later you'll want to upgrade everything.


Bottom Line:   
It's a decent entry level dual suspension bike. If your looking for a cheap way to get into it this is your bike. Thats what I did and now I'm ready to sell it and buy a better more expensive bike.

700DS and a water bottle

There are no bolts to attach a water bottle to. Anyone have a solution without drilling into the frame? I guess maybe a backpack...but trying to avoid that.   Read More »
