from Mayaguez, Puerto RicoDate Reviewed: January 7, 2001
Strengths: Light for the price 30 pounds, very strong frame, looks like a more spensive bike, good maniobrability, the sr suntour fork isn't the best but does the job very well.Weaknesses: Painful saddle, cheap pedals and tires, the sr suntour crank make metalic sound that drives me cracy.Bottom Line: Is a very good bike for the price. I can ride any dificult trail in this bike and it cost me less than the mayority of my fellow bikers. If you are a xtreme weekend warrior like me this bike is for you.

Strengths:
price, frame, brakes, bars, cranksWeaknesses:
BB, headset, pedalsBottom Line: does the job. the BB and headset are totally useless. Everthing else is functional to good. The handling is a little stiff and unstable. But for under $400, it's the best bang around I saw. No other company came close to offering the same quality of materials and brand name components (acera, shimano, zoom, alum. frame, suspension) for under $500. Looks great too.
