Submitted by Billy Jenkins a Weekend Warrior from Lancaster, PA , USA!
Date Reviewed: May 6, 2000
Favorite Trail:Horseshoe Trail
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Strengths:Self Destruction Button Works GREAT!
Weaknesses:Needs Training Wheels!
Climbs trees and chases cars. (NEEDS A LEASH!)
Similar Products Used:A Toilet.
Bike Setup:It has wheels!
Bottom Line:Great bike. Only problem is that it gives me gas and indigestion. I thought it was unbreakable until I rode it off a 1000ft cliff. I put wings on it to see if it would fly, but I killed myself. I sure did pay alot to break it the first 30 seconds on a trail. The bike is great but the bike is not great!

Submitted by Patricio Hunta a Racer from Bellevue, Wa
Date Reviewed: December 30, 1999
Favorite Trail:
Whistler/Blackcomb B.C.
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Strengths:
Everything, There's too much to list
Weaknesses:
Nothing
Similar Products Used:
Proflex 3000
Trek Y-bike
FSR XC
Bike Setup:
Shimano Deore Rapid Fire
Rock Shox Judy
Bottom Line:This definately one of the best bikes that I have ever ridden. I've owned for about 11months and have done free-riding, XC, Downhill, just about everything with it and it never let up. It's not the best bike, but what is at $1650. The bike has great climbing power, great braking, and looks cool. I own a K2 disco monky which is about twice as much, and this does everything better. I've got to give Specialized a hand for this way to Go!
