Date Reviewed: May 18, 2001
Favorite Trail:Carpatian mountains
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $700.00
Purchased At:Bucharest MTB shop
Strengths:Great fork - 130cm travel. DoubleCrowed. The Al. frame it's ok. Good rear travel.
Weaknesses:I didn't find yet anyone. Yet. In the few month maybe. Anyway the frame don't have any v-brake mounts. It's ready only for disk. Other thing: You can use on rear only 2.1 -2.2 tire!!! This suck. You must have much care when you ride.
Similar Products Used:Custom bike: Hi-ten frame + MG81 fork. A really havy bike. But a strong one. You can trust on it. It will never broke. I'm sure about it.
Bike Setup:Wheeler 5000 CZX, Zokes HooowaDH fork, System 8 Disk, LX, XT comp. Excalibur rims, acor hubs
Bottom Line:At this value, a great bike. The fork work like in haven. I hope that will be a good one also. Good rear travel. A real problem is the rear tire. Until now I just love it.
After I will use for a 4-6 month I will be back with some news.
