$250.00 | | Purchased At: | Local Bike Shop | | Strengths: | I really like the construction of the frame. I also really like the front fork. The crank isn't all that bad for the starter class the bike is. I really enjoy drops so I put the bike through a lot of beatings and it seems to withstand. | | Weaknesses: | Definatly the GripShift and the rear suspension. The suspension is not even all that bad unless you do some 5 foot drops. Ohh ya the pedals wear out real quick! | | Similar Products Used: | Supercycle 21DS | | Bike Setup: | All stock except new pedals | | Bottom Line: | The bottom line is that this bike is great for the price and it is perfect for a screw around bike. The bike is good for beginners in x-country or for a cheap experienced rider. It takes to drops okay and isn't to shabby on both x-country and downhill trails. Would pay more for it than I did. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$250.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | The frame seems to be designed and built very well. Overall I really like the bike. Once I get rid of the crap they call the rear shock I think it will be a better bike. | | Weaknesses: | The componants that suck are: REAR SHOCK sucks a lot, grip twist shifter, headset, rear shock, front drrailleur, crankset, brakes. | | Bottom Line: | Upgrade componants a must. Upgrade the rear shock at the very least. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$400.00 | | Purchased At: | Cactus Bike & Ski | | Strengths: | Frame,Derailleurs ,Front Suspension | | Weaknesses: | Rear Suspension isn't the greatest only has a sag setting. Grip Shift (Terrible)it changes gears whenever it feels like not when you want it to change, Upgraded to rapid fire immediately. | | Similar Products Used: | Norco Screamer goood for someone on a budget too heavey for my liking. Jamis Dakar XLT 1.0 Great bike all around hydraulic disc brakes is the best thing ever. Head Funk one of my first MTB's, it was great for the years that I had it but now i'm interested in getting more aggressive and it's just not up to par anymore, only has front suspension and it's not the greatest. | | Bottom Line: | Bottom line, this is a great first start bike. Only weighs 32 pounds, quite light. It's good for 3 foot jumps, not for the more aggressive biker. The frames are welded very well, plus there very strong. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
