Favorite Trail:
48 to 260
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$800.00
Purchased At:
From a friend.
Strengths:
Grips the trail jut as well as other top XC full suspensions. This bike speeds down hills and takes corners pretty well. A lot of fun in the air as well. Just a good all-terrain bike with the weight of a XC bike.
Weaknesses:
The Avid Juicy Fives can be a pain in the ass at times. I think that the front brake lever may be a little faulty. It doesn't bounce back to the starting position as quickly as the rear brake lever. I have tried bleeding it multiple times and that hasn't helped. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Panaracer Rampage 2.35" front and back. Thinking about putting a directional tire up front for the hard pack trails of AZ. Easton cockpit. XT and XTR group.
Bottom Line:
Dude, this bike is so much fun dude.
