Date Reviewed: June 10, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | anything very fast | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$200.00 | | Purchased At: | off a friend | | Strengths: | it has suspension ermm and it takes medium drops relatively well if u set the shocks up right | | Weaknesses: | heavy(like a tank) cheap components, i bent the wheels after a month(1.5m drop off by accident, i didn't c it till it was too late) | | Similar Products Used: | lots and lots | | Bike Setup: | stock with bar ends, rockshox judy psylo(get some) and nice strong wheels | | Bottom Line: | nice entry lever full susser, if u can afford something better go for it instead, u get what u pay for. Raleigh makes cheap bikes that last fairly well. If u're into downhill buy something stronger than this with proper suspension. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

A superb bike with quality components. The gear shifters have a nice feel to them and gear changes are quiet and smooth. brake levers have a nice solid feel to them, not like dia comp stuff found on bikes in this price range.
I bought this bike for cycle touring , off road cycle tracks and easy mtn biking. I have no complaints about it at all. I originally wanted a bike with front suspension but i bought this instead because the components were much better. The rsp (Raleighs own brand?) components are class stuff.
It cost me 325 GBP.
Nothing about this bikes appears to be cheap or shoddy.
Buy one

The 1998 M-Trax 100 uses the oversize reinforced gussett Alu frame and a mixture of STX-RC V-brakes
and levers, STX-RC front-mech, Sachs Centera DiRT rear-mech and shifters, Weinmann rims and Suntour
cranks. It is a beautiful bike, well made, bought for my wife and I'm jealous.The bike is so good that I'm going to have to buy the CroMo framed model up, the 150, and have the Sachs
gears put on. I may convince my better half to buy it for me.Raleigh, at the 300 to 500 lbs (sterling) range that I've looked at offer the best range of components and
frames at each and every level. Even the RSP (Raleigh's own brand) stem, bars, post and hubs are good.
Avoiding the complete groupset option Raleigh have gone to choose the best components for every budget.
