Strengths:
LBS quality and components at Wallymart price.
Weaknesses:
2002 and 2004 models have 100mm front forks, but for some reason 2003s come with 80mm Dukes, which doesn't match the rear travel. Changed to Black Elite 100mm and also ditched the pedals for Mallets and much better.
Similar Products Used:
KHS FXT Trail, Specialized and Giant hardtails.
Bike Setup:
2003 Manitou Black Elite 80/100, Crank Brothers Mallet C.
Bottom Line:
Big name brand models costing $500 more got nothing on Apogee LX. 2004 model addressed my only beef, 80mm forks.
