Favorite Trail:Budds Creek, MD
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $419.00
Purchased At:Mikes Bikes
Strengths:It looks really cool, nice gusseting and welds, the frame and most compnents are strong. Comes with a 3-piece crank.
Weaknesses:Nothing is sealed, Ive bent my forks, and the brakes arent very powerful. The tires wore down quickly.
Similar Products Used:I have a 1998 Gt pro series, and i beat the hell out of it, but still, its holding up better than the reactor, and it came sealed! what awaste of 400 bucks.
Bike Setup:stock
Bottom Line:This bike is pretty nice, IF you plan on buying aftermarket parts for it, but if your gonna run it stock, rock it with a GT, theyre made much better and mostt of them are sealed.

Submitted by Mike a Racer from Canton, MI
Date Reviewed: October 24, 2000
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $500.00
Purchased At:Breakaway Bicycles
Strengths:Sweet Frame, Gussets
Wheels!
Long Top Tube
Weaknesses:The idiots at the shop didnt tell me I was buying a 1999 model in May 2000. I found out when I checked the DB web site.
Bike Setup:Stock Reactor minus most decals and Avid 1.0 Levers with Avid 10 Front and Rear V Brakes-V -plate for the front, Paid $420 for the bike, $50 for the brakes and $25 for the V plate
Bottom Line:This is my first real BMX bike and Im 23-I sold my 2000 C-Dale Jekyll 900SX, and bought this bike at 1/5 the price. Its about 10 time more fun. This is the first bike I paid retail for in almost 10 years. I work at a shop and could have gotten a GT, Haro or Schwinn for half the price or less. We have some sweet dirt jumps set up and this bike loves it. I use it for dirt jumping, street and some trials riding. Im just an MTBer trying to be a BMXer. TRY A BMX BIKE!
