Submitted by Ryan Trebon a Racer from Steilacoom WA
Date Reviewed: May 17, 1999
Favorite Trail:
Coral Pass
Duration Product Used:
more than 3 years
Strengths:
awesome handling, rides like a road bike on flats and climbs, super fast
Weaknesses:
heavy, and the fact that i have broken THREE, thats right THREE one in two weeks, one in almost a year and one in two months
Bike Setup:
full XTR, manitou SX(which also broke twice)
Bottom Line:Its a good bike, but so damn fragile, i just wish they wouldn't break, but GT is cool about replacing them, the only bad part is that it takes two months to get a new one because they are custom built, so far the '99 one which is made out of Reyonlds 853 is holding up ok.
Overall Rating:5

Date Reviewed: May 16, 1999
Favorite Trail:
Mt. Ste. Anne
Duration Product Used:
more than 3 years
Strengths:
Great in the seat climbing and descending, handles amazing. This all depends on what you got on it as well.
Weaknesses:
Little heavy for XC Racing
Similar Products Used:
VooDoo Mambo
GT Zasker LE
My ORYX Team Issue (XTR)
Mongoose Hilltopper SX
Kona Explosif
Cannondale F1000 (99)
Bike Setup:
Z2 Atom Bomb
XTR Shifters/Lever
Magura Brakes
Mavic Crossland
LX Drivetrain
Raceface Cranks
Spec. Prolong Revolution Saddle
Synchros TI Stem
Synchros TI Harcore bar
Bottom Line:This is a killer ride for a custom bike.. i have owned it for 3 years and done the upgrades on this one this year... The frame could stand to be a Reynolds 853.. but a little lighter wouldn't hurt.. you can beat the living life out of a GT Psyclone, but you can kill it!!!
