Date Reviewed: December 12, 2004 | | Favorite Trail: | guincho seacoast | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | jasma stand LX | | Strengths: | scott yecora disc 04´ has a neat frame and radical finishes (colours and design) with good value for price and possible upgradings and street adaptation. | | Weaknesses: | still the weight after taking off the 12 useless steel bolts + origine parts such as radical slim seat, the slipery pedals, the loose chain. | | Similar Products Used: | ive replaced the seat for a xsenium lookin gel seat + the pedals by wellgo spiked bmx + purchasing a new front fork suspension marzocchi. | | Bike Setup: | from origin = front suspension rock shox judy tt, deore shimano shift kit, IRC tires, scott components for the rest | | Bottom Line: | for biginners like me its a great reliable and affordable freeride bike but not for radical riding.

$250.00 | | Purchased At: | PD.Sinar Bangka, Jakarta, Indonesia | | Strengths: | Frame is Nice | | Weaknesses: | Saddle & Crank | | Bike Setup: | Standard | | Bottom Line: | Reasonable price, very good for beginers.
This bike good for Cross Country.
First priority you should change the 'Sadle'.
Then you can upgrade gradually base on your budget:
If you want to reduce the weight you should change:
1.Shock
2.Hub
3.Handle bar
4.Seat post
If you want to use for extreme XC change the components:
Crank or buy Shimano Deore XT group set.

$500.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Trax, Edinburgh | | Strengths: | Response, Components, Design | | Weaknesses: | Weight | | Bottom Line: | After toying with VERY cheap end mountain biking, I decided to take the plunge and get the Yecora. To say I was most impressed would be an understatement.
I soon came to love its responsiveness, the new found agility to stop on a penny (unless on loose gravel!) From a armchair warrior, this bike has had me out on some of the roughest trails Scotland has to offer! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$500.00 | | Purchased At: | Böttgen World of Bike, Frankfurt | | Strengths: | nice worked frame
color | | Weaknesses: | heavy weight
poor parts
poor fork | | Bike Setup: | yec 20,5 now w/ SID XC, XT complete, Mavic 517, syncros stem&seatpost, Flite | | Bottom Line: | The first thing to be changed were the wheels. They couldn't stand any hard ride and were heavy in weight. Next came the fork, the original RST 260 has no variable setup and bounces you around. giving the fork a lithium-grease package inside made the thing work better, but best is my new SID. Saddle was nice, but stolen in 1999. I definetly find the Flite better. The rear derallieur worked till last year, then I changed it for a new one (9speed). The front derallieur was damaged and had to be changed.
Altogether, the parts are the poorest I've ever seen, but the frame is nice. Ideal bike for beginners. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
