Bike Setup:
Pretty much stock + Shimano PD-M520 pedals
Bottom Line:
Great bike, my favorite ride in its price range although I'm not that experienced. If you are a strong XC rider or planning on becoming one, this machine should do the trick. Well built, and Felt seems to be a good company to support, nice to ride a brand that is pretty new to the scene. I think it is a great value and built to take more than I can dish out for sure. Would reccomend.

Bottom Line:
Killer looking bike, gloss charcoal paint, excellent handling ,kinda neat riding something that the masses aren't, FELT is new to the MTB market but they hit the mark, 07 is first year. MTB Action called it mountian bikings best kept dirty little secret. It is well worth putting on your short list if looking for a mid range hardtail, beginner or seasoned riders both should be satisfied.
