Submitted by Clark a Weekend Warrior from Marion, IA U.S.A.
Date Reviewed: October 8, 2009
Favorite Trail:CPU Trails
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $300.00
Purchased At:Northtowne Cycling a
Strengths:Very Light. Brakes work good. Strong frame, very flickable. Comes with great Kenda tires. Reasonable price.
Weaknesses:Brakes work good at first, but once you bend the rim just a tad, they fade hardcore. Cranks are terrible. I've had mine for a little over a year, and it split where the built-in pinhead is. Wish the wheels were double-wall, not stock singles.
Similar Products Used:Specialized 415, Haro 540 Air, Mirraco Blend 3
Bike Setup:Very nice bike. and i would recommend it for starters. Not well-built for the big guys, but it will last you a long time without having to replace anything.
Bottom Line:Great bike, but needs better aftermarket components.

Favorite Trail:The Doo Doo Butter
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $200.00
Purchased At:Sports Authority
Strengths:The bike is decent for a beginner. It sucks balls after you learn the bunny hop because the rims bend, the grips wear down in a week if your lucky, its heavy as ballz. The stem and forks are decent because there non-threaded 1 1/8. The tires are nice, and pegs are fine.
Weaknesses:This bike is terrible, i wish i bought the performer. It is so heavy to learn bunny hops with. The seat sux, it has sucky padding so when u learn bar spins your knees get sore. The pedals are heavy, and grind down in no time, it has a 1- pc crank that snaps in no time. The sprocket is 3/32 so it bends after grinding on it. The rims are singlewalled. This bike over all sucks get a haro or something
Similar Products Used:Haro backtrail x4, much better, fit team complete.
Bike Setup:Compe 2003, shadow conspiracy stem, haro y-22 wheelset, fit sprocket on a redline monster 3-pc.
Bottom Line:Bike is horrible, buy the performer
