Date Reviewed: January 7, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Price Paid: |
$200.00 | | Purchased At: | Willy's Wheels | | Strengths: | Strong frame, reasonable components | | Weaknesses: | No front suspension, combined shifters/brake levers | | Similar Products Used: | Repco Maxtrax, Shogun Trailbreaker 2 | | Bike Setup: | Seperate shifters/brake levers, Front shocks, Clipless pedals, New tyres | | Bottom Line: | This bike (or newer Rincons) is good for the casual rider wanting something better than a cheap and nasty bike. Nothing is particularly special about it but it will hold together for commuting and cross country riding.
I'm a heavy rider (~220lb) and give the bike a hard time, crashing into holes, rocks and logs and the bike has taken it all, no probs. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
