Date Reviewed: August 11, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | Pinhoti | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Won it | | Strengths: | Carbon Fibre Frame, Left Fork is great. The handling is spot on, you point it and you go there! Eats bumps, Love the look! | | Weaknesses: | Scared about the frame but the lifetime warranty is cool. | | Similar Products Used: | Skookum By Ticycles, Bridgestone MB-1, Jamis Dakar | | Bike Setup: | Lefty front fork, Rock shock vanilla, Mythos tires
Large frame | | Bottom Line: | This is a classic! Hot fast and climbs like a goat. Down hills are a breeze. Makes me feel like I am on my YZ250 Yamaha. If you can find one of these go for it, the best bicycle I have ever owned. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$3000.00 | | Purchased At: | Blacks Cycle | | Strengths: | I have no idea what the last guy said, but the bike is
Light
Climbs very well
Downhills fast
LIFETIME WARRENTY!!! | | Weaknesses: | After to many drops the swing arm tears off. | | Similar Products Used: | Other Cannondales, Trek, Gary Fisher, Marin, Rocky Mountain, Kona. | | Bike Setup: | '99 Z1 Bam, Rhyno Light rims, Grimica sytem 8 discs, Hugi & XT hubs, Cannondale hollow splined cranks and BB, XY Race Face seat post, Maxxis High Roller front, Rocco rear tires. | | Bottom Line: | To date, this is the best bike I have ever ridden! I purchase it in '99 a a considerable discount. It is the bike that can do almost all of it. Incredible climber, feels very stable at high speed (5" in front helps) great in tight turns ( except the flexy Z1 Bam)After two years of hard use the frame broke above the bottom bracket. Cannondale shipped out a new 2001 model Raven in 3 weeks! Great warrenty. If I was not taking 5 foot drops, I believe the bike would last a lifetime. I have traded the new frame on a 2001 Rocky RM6. Anyone doing Cross country or mild free ridding would love this bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
