Favorite Trail:
Yer Mom
Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$1500.00
Strengths:
great bike for the money. Looks good and aggressive. Relatively light, and def. upgradeable.
Weaknesses:
It has a way of pushing your weight forward. Def. took some getting used to. A couple times I felt like my eye balls were gonna pop out of my head. not sure if it's the geometry of the bike or my riding style. Also, most equip. junkies are gonna rip on the brakes and fork.
Similar Products Used:
trek, santa cruz heckler, gary fisher
Bike Setup:
stock with platforms.
Bottom Line:
Great bike for the money with a solid frame. It has alot of upgrade potential with the brakes and fork.
I'm a relatively advanced rider. Not really into the racing scene anymore, but this bike is great if you like all day fun rides with moderate all mountain/jumps/drops etc.
I have alot of friends with much more expensive bikes which I have tested, and as long as you're not a racer or a weight weenie with a stationary bike at home, this bike will get the job done.
