Favorite Trail:Cody's Back Yard
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $420.00
Purchased At:Canadian Tire
Strengths:This bike has the potential to be a great downhill bike. Strong frame, strong Triple clamp fork and light weight rims.
Weaknesses:The crank was the only problem I had design wise, but other than that it was well designed, balanced and weighted.
Similar Products Used:Hyper Demo....drove till I almost had a Heart attack, but the bike was still going strong.
Bike Setup:Stock Hyper Impact frame with 26 x 2.6 Kenda Kinetics tires, a Truvativ Hussevelt splined crankshaft and a computer that now reads over 1200 kilometers...in 2 months!
Bottom Line:This bike is a solid, well designed bike. The only problem i had with it was the stock crank, but I soon replaced it with the truvativ...and had NO problems since.

Submitted by Jason Miller a Racer from Chico California
Date Reviewed: November 27, 2000
Favorite Trail:Paradise BMX Track
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $29.00
Purchased At:Bike Barn
Strengths:Price, Durable, Looks
Weaknesses:A little flex
Bike Setup:Robinson Patriot Alum., Awnswer Stubbie 2 Stem, Odyssey Seat post and seat.
Bottom Line:I have ridden them pretty hard and I expected them to have bent them by now, I'm 165 pounds and they have held up. There are better cranks but for 5 times the price. In my opinion these are the best cheap cranks ever made.

Duration Product Used:3 months
Strengths:price,price,price
Weaknesses:none so far
Bottom Line:Don't be put off by the low price. Dotek makes some great cranks for a fraction of the price of the big names. I paid a little over $20 for my Dotek and the quality and strength are unbelievable at this price.
