$220.00 | | Strengths: | Indestructable and reliable. | | Weaknesses: | heavy | | Similar Products Used: | many | | Bike Setup: | standard shimano Altus replaced pedals and handle grips
replaced handle grips and pedals | | Bottom Line: | Great bike for your average biker. If you want to race it forget it, it's much to heavy. The frame has withstood harsh winters, multiple crashes and beatings. It's the best bike out there for the price, there is nothing that even comes close for the bike I would be willing to have payed $350. I am a road racer and use it in the winter and on trails I couldn't take a road bike. There is no need to get a $500 bike if all your going to do is hit some moderateley tough trails or get a workout on your nearby bike trail. Affordable, Reliable, and good looking what more could you want. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$219.00 | | Purchased At: | country sports, canton ct | | Strengths: | Value - good entry level quality at a great price. | | Weaknesses: | It's a first-timer hardtail. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Rockhopper, Cannondale M400 | | Bike Setup: | Swapped out handlbars to flat bars, pedals to spd/platform combo, added sbc bar ends, shock post. Use SBC kevlar tires on trails, irc metro kevlar tires in city. | | Bottom Line: | If you want to find out what MTB is all about - it's hard to go wrong., For less than a set of road tires, you can catch the fever. I was a die-hard roadie until I got on this bike. Reasonably light, decent componentry, very upgradable, predictable performance. The shop will slap a front shock on this as my neext stretch onto the trail. This bike hooked me. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

I have had a few problems with the bike, the seat broke for one, but was quickly replaced by Diamondback. Also there are sometimes problems with the shifting system, but I really put a beating on the bike and it holds up. Overall a good deal for the money. | | Overall Rating: |
