Strengths:    Frame, susspension set up, offroad capible.

Weaknesses:    Sadle..... broke yout butt.

Bottom Line:   
Good bike i had it for 3 years from age 11-14 it held up well pretty hard to break it launched well of jumps with proper care they were good bikes. not the best for a serious offroader or XC rider but grat for starting off on small junps and leartning off road. only went throgh a front and rear tire rear rube and a set of brakes, a sadle and maintence. its got 3000 miles.

Submitted by DOUG TOMLINSON a Weekend Warrior from PONTEFRACT, ENGLAND

Date Reviewed: May 8, 2002

Strengths:    Responsive frame, decent forks,good build quality

Weaknesses:    I had to upgrade brakes, saddle, BB,chain inner chainring, tyres, pedals.

Bottom Line:   
This bike gets some hammer! Apart from fair wear & tear it has withstood the most severe terrain I can throw at it, including racing. It remains complaint and responsive and reliable. I would have to spend a lot more money to get anything that performs better. Buy it and it will cater for all your MTB needs, whether beginner or experienced.
