Submitted by B.A Barabus a Downhiller from scotland

Date Reviewed: September 7, 2001

Strengths:    the handling and the cornering that you get out of it is very good. you also have a great seated position which is centerd more over the rear end of the bike which is great if your a downhiller like me. The frame isnt heavy at all and i have a lot of heavy things on the bike and still its quite light.

Weaknesses:    somtimes when i pedal or go off a drop the cranks skeak. This is prob because there wuite loose butt im not sure. They shouldnt creak because there ac cranks and there top quality s##t

Bottom Line:   
very good bike if your a starter for downhill. If you get top stuff you wont have a prob with it at all and you will also not be scared of going fast over roots, rocks etc cos the rear shock absorbs it all. top quality

Submitted by Rob Johnson a Downhiller from Malvern, Worcestershire

Date Reviewed: December 14, 2000

Strengths:    Made in England. Mine was Orange!!!, handling

Weaknesses:    Heavy, Crappy rear shock, weak.

Bottom Line:   
This frame is abit weak, very heavy or that might have been the monster T's? The pivot is in the wrong place, it is impossible to set the frame up so it either doesn't bottom on the bigger stuff. One thing this bike does is corner so well, but my frame cracked along a weld on the top tube. Instead of getting this get the Orange 222.
