Strengths: Takes the edge off the rough stuffWeaknesses: Nervous at slow speed technical stuff; too bad it's a Raleigh.Bottom Line: Rare bike. Affordable carbon composite monocoque frame, wt. 3.65lbs. Mine is a '96 MCC-8 (same frame as MCC-9). List $1350 - paid $900US. Anybody know the history of this frame?
Handles better at speed. Original bike setup had some real trashy parts. My best mods; Englund Total Air cartridge (that Judy was junk) & Avid Mag brakeset.
Only came with a 2 year warranty, so I don't recommend buying used. Mine's held up to moderate punishment. I've seen one that had a cracked chainstay, repaired & still being ridden.
Favorite Trail: Riguad & my West Island trail
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years
Price Paid:
$900.00
Purchased At: White Mountain Cycling
Similar Products Used: Raleigh Technium Chill; owned. Kona, Giant, Litespeed, Fat Chance (GREAT BIKE); demoed
Bike Setup: Totally modified, at bargain prices to boot, (lots of ti) 'cept crankset & front derailleur - 23lbs.

Strengths:
So far, it has been a great bike. Absorbs even the biggest bumps and jumps, mo problem whether jumping 10' jumps or flying down 200' downhills...Weaknesses:
Carbon Fiber frame flexes a lot, though my maguras are partially to blame for that...Bottom Line: Its the best hardtail Ive ever ridden, you don't get bucked off the seat after hitting bumps like you do on a aluminum bike, no real complaints, if you have a chance to get one, BUY IT!
Favorite Trail:
Catabwa Riverfront, NC or Whistler, BC
