Submitted by Jesse a Weekend Warrior from Corvallis, OR USA
Date Reviewed: July 31, 2001
Favorite Trail:Extendo, Upper Dan's, Horse
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $850.00
Purchased At:on eBay
Strengths:Ultra Light- My bike weights 22.5lbs. with fenders. The frame looks good, internal cable routing is a plus. This bike climbs like a beast!
Weaknesses:A little sketchy on really steep downhills. The frame is really rigid, so it beats up up a little. Don't get me wrong, it is fast! For some reason it hurts my back a little on long climbs.
Similar Products Used:Schwinn, Cannondale, GT....
Bike Setup:Manitou fork, Nuke Proof Hubs, Mavic, Avalon Crank, XTR chain rings, XT groupo, Answer bars and grips, Chris King headset...
Bottom Line:This bike rocks, pick one up if you can. These bikes are very versitle and very fast! Full suspension is overrated. I have another Klein Pulse II if anyone is interested. My friend doesn't ride anymore, and asked me to sell it. The bike is just as sick as mine, e-mail me if you are interested. vailje@engr.orst.edu

Duration Product Used:Tested or demo'ed only
Purchased At:my invisible bike shop in my bedroom
Strengths:best bike in the whole wide world
Weaknesses:none
Similar Products Used:a rock
Bike Setup:full chris king everything
Bottom Line:would be a neat bike except when Trek aquired Klein in 1998 they discontinued the Pulse series b/c it was in competition with their 1000 series. The Pulse was a great frame in 98 and the Trek 1000 series is at a lower level.
