from Birmingham, AL, USADate Reviewed: November 11, 2002
Strengths: Bombproof frame and good components! I enjoy the ride and this bike can do all types of trails except extreme downhill. Great rear Rock Shox Deluxe shock. It is smooth, but can handle my weight of 250lbs. Great components (LX all around) that hold up great for a weekend warrior who just wants to jump and ride hard!Weaknesses: Manitou Spyder front fork is terrible. I don't expect a Marzocchi or Sid on this price level of a bike, but a low end Rock Shox would have been a better choice. This front fork cannot handle anyone over 150lbs. I will upgrade soon once I get some $$$!Bottom Line: Incredible Full Suspension! Great intermediate bike! Bombproof! Whoever complains about where the water cage is located also complains about the mud that I splash on them as I burn past them on my FSR!!!
Favorite Trail: Sope Creek
Duration Product Used: 3 months
Price Paid:

Strengths:
Seems to me it offers a lot of bike for the price.Weaknesses:
Front suspension does not seem to handle my 230 lbs, not sure if one will.Bottom Line: Have not owned a Mountain Bike before, but I've been reading a lot of articles about inexpensive bikes ($700 is not really inexpensive), and makes me feel I made the right choice.
