from Canberra, Australia Date Reviewed: May 17, 2000 Strengths: This Bike is SO Great! It's Head tube and overall frame strength are tatally awesome. It's really light, even for a hardtail it fares well. Compatibility with triple clamps makes it an awesome downhill machine. Frame geometry fells quick but not sketchy in handling. Wonderful! Weaknesses: The rear swing arm might be a little fragile, It was broken by the previous owner but this was uinder very odd circumstances. He jumped off a jump only 3" high! Must have broken it by landing in a VERY strange way. Otherwise the frame Is awesome! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Mountain Bike Nationals at Isaccs Ridge Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: 2000 Warp Ds-1 (not in the same league but fells similar) Bike Setup: XT groupset Rst triple calmp forks Some bloody huge riser bar and short stem.

from Germany Date Reviewed: January 1, 2000 Strengths: Hardcore manufacturing, this bike won`t let you down, maybe the components if cheap... Weaknesses: The weight of the frame is a lil' more than three kilos, so be alarmed about the weight of the rest... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Scott Vertigo Pro Cannondale Hot Chili X-Rage Bike Setup: F-S : Marzocchi Z1 Bam Syncros-parts for steering and sitting. The rest belongs completely to shimanos XT-group, the best in long endurance and quality, and not as expensive as XTR (who needs that at all).
