Date Reviewed: March 15, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Birds Hill | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | Great frame this is a top of the line Cromo frame on a $600 bike strong brakes 8-speed | | Weaknesses: | Rims are a little weak I only weigh 110 but I do ride hard and after most rides I'd have to get them trued, brakes are strong but ver tempermental. | | Similar Products Used: | Trek 6500,7000 Brodie Infinity | | Bike Setup: | Coda riser bar
LX front derailleur | | Bottom Line: | This bike makes an awesome starting bike or a good bike for some one wanting a good deal and AWESOME frame! It's a great deal I got mine for $550 with tax and thats like $375 U.S. could have had better rims and the problem with the brakes can be fixed and the good thing is that a this bike in 97 was an 8-speed. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

more than 3 years | | Bottom Line: | I have this bike for four year now. I think that it's a great bike. It's almost undistructible. I made 7000 miles with it and I didn't have to replace any part of it. I'm selling this bike now and I'm going to buy the new KHS FXT Pro bike, because after I've used this bike I really believe KHS makes great bikes. | | Overall Rating: |

THIS IS A GREAT BIKE. I DO ALL OF MAINTANENCE AND INSTALLATIONS BY MYSELF. I'VE ADDED THE Z2 (VERY GOOD) XTR BRAKES, 535'S (AWESOME), FSA ORBIT DL HEADSET. THE ONLY PROBELEM IS THE NO NAME BRANDS. ANY WAY GREAT BIKE HANDLES WELL IN SINGLETRACK AND DOWNHILLS. DEFINATLEY WORTH THE MONEY.

so far this bike is making me happy. I am a beginner and have no mtb exp.
i also do not no nothing about the KHS brand. i added MANITOU SX SHOXS AND PAID ABOUT 600 DOLLARS. VERY HAPPY. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE STUFF ABOUT THE KHS BRAND. I PICKED THE SUMMIT OVER THE HARDROCK. | | Overall Rating: |

I also find the Summit a good all rounder, even for the tough downhill circuits where i live. I agree with Graeme Malloch is saying that this bike is worth more than £600. It should be £1000! I cannot find anything more to say about this excellent bike as Mr. Malloch has already made clear the good facts about it. | | Overall Rating: |

It's a hardtail made of steel and it is fine. The frame is tip top True Temper steel made in the true tear
drop-shaped frame, typical of KHS. I got some decent bits with it which was reasonable for £600 but
I have since added better than decent stuff such as M600 V-brakes, Mavic 217 wheels with LX hubs
and titanium X-Lite skewers, a Club Roost DH bar and an LX cassette make up the list which I am still
adding to. It is well on the way to being my dream machine. Super-duper. Well-done KHS. Make it
cost £800.
