from CanadaDate Reviewed: April 1, 1999
Strengths:
It's light for a DH bike (but is it really a DH bike????) It has the possibility to mount a front derailleur (but its a DH bike, isn't it?), and its not painted, so not really scratchable.Weaknesses:
The frame does not come with a rear disk brake adapter, the Fox Vanillar RX hits the underside of the seatmast when it compresses anywhere past two inches, I'm not sure if I'm getting the claimed six inches of travel, and the frame is no different than the FSR-Elite, I mean it has no extra reinforcement, no beefier chainstays, no longer top tube, etc...Bottom Line: A good DH bike, but not a PRO level bike. A few changes would make this bike killer: integrated disk brake adapters, slightly longer top tube, beefier chainstays. . .Well, maybe seven inches would be cool too.
Favorite Trail:
Anything steep and tech.
Duration Product Used:
