from The not too distant futureDate Reviewed: July 19, 2008
Strengths: Sweet as frame, decent spec for price paid and age, geometry inspires idiocy and general abuseWeaknesses: Geometry and weight conspire to make this bike a tank on roads or general trails,Bottom Line: not the most hardcore bike i've owned (scotty nitrous takes that crown) but gives that a run for it's money. hardnut spec with a misguided notion of practicality but don't be fooled, this nike is worse on the ups than the old scott however it's more fun as you are working harder rather than floating the terrain. As said before best as a custom build from the frame as it's got the potential. rockshox argyles, halo tornado's, holzfellas and x.9 could all be put on this frame without it letting the side down.

Strengths: Awesome bike for dirt jumping and also kick your friends a'es on the trails. Holds up great jump after jump and small drops. People say the fork isn't all that great but I think it holds its own and I never have any problems. The stock rims are also solid, took a broken derailer like it was bulletproofWeaknesses: crappy stock cranks need replacedBottom Line: The bike is solid for jumping and trails. I have owned it for two years with no complaints.

Strengths: over all solid as a rock. has no problems being abused. has been riden hard for the past five years with one tune up.Weaknesses: the only thing that has broken was the seat post bolt. the components are not top of the line. original seat must be thrown out and burned.Bottom Line: when i asked for a bike that i could throw off a cliff, go pick it back up, and ride it back up with no problem the bike store immediatly pointed to the the ruckus. ive had no complaints.
