from Grapevine, TX Date Reviewed: March 17, 1999 | | Duration Product Used: | more than 3 years | | Strengths: | Very smooth travel, no-maintenance bushings, adjustable travel from 3.5 to 4.5 (5 available), light weight (5.5 lbs. for 18 frame/Air Vanilla), great price for the quality, made in the USA, not everyone owns one, great company to work with | | Weaknesses: | I can't think of any, except a single-pivot swingarm would be less maintenance. | | Similar Products Used: | AMP B-3, Santa Cruz Heckler, Cannondale Super V Active ('97), Cannondale Super V Active 100SL ('98), Pro-Flex 856, 857, 4000 ('98), Kestrel Rubicon, others I can't remember | | Bike Setup: | Fox Vanilla R, 5 travel, Manitou X-Vert R, Shimano LX/XT. 28 lbs. | | Bottom Line: | This is the best-feeling bike I have ridden, and that is quite a few (I was a bike mechanic for 3.5 years). A great deal, and a great bike even compared to others more expensive (Titus Motolite, Intense Uzzi XC, Ventana El Terremoto, etc.) | Overall Rating: |
