$600.00 | | Purchased At: | Oak Bay Bikes | | Strengths: | tires haven't popped yet | | Weaknesses: | the disc brakes need to be adjusted every couple of weeks (I ride 2-3x / week in the city, have hardly taken it cross-country). Sometimes the cables get stretched out, often there is continuous rubbing of the front wheel. Have had to replace a couple cables already. | | Bike Setup: | disc brakes, everything else stock | | Bottom Line: | Not a terrible bike but just going off curbs I can tell I wouldn't want to take it downhill. I hope to upgrade asap! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Impresed with the overall. expect to spend alot of time tweaking cus everything comes loose. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$650.00 | | Strengths: | cheap, only 650 Can. | | Weaknesses: | alot of things. the fork is terrible, the brakes easiily get wonky, almost everything is kind of weak | | Similar Products Used: | only this one the '05 cayote | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | its alright I guess if you just rided around the city, but i wouldn't recomend it for someone who actually rides on any trails other than walking paths. I like it because it was cheap, but its not really much of an XC bike, even though they say it is. i would go with a Kona or Specialized or Norco or Rocky or anything in this price range, because they all seem to be better. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
