Overall Rating:5
Submitted by herbn@cybernex.com a Downhiller from cresskill. n.j.

Date Reviewed: April 20, 1999

Strengths:    
It's really strong I've had the bike for 16 months and the component group has evolved to bring the weight up from 36 to 41 lbs. yet the frame seems unstressed


Weaknesses:    
I'm looking for more travel,the mountain cycle monocoque construction is a little easy to dent. It could use some internal reinforcement and maybe some replacable uhmw (polyethelene) bumpers I have a deposit on a first run karpiel armageddon with 9-11 inches (adjustable)


Bottom Line:   
Mountain Cycle makes an excellent frame ,although the dhs is no longer their flagship it works great. I've won a couple of expert level downhill races at Plattekill on this bike, as well as surviving numerous life threatening stunts and the frame has come through it perfectly except for a few dents.
