The 6000 picks up where last years' 5000 series left off. This time the man is back and badder than ever, toting a sweeping carbon fiber downtube to help beat down mountain bike thugs and restore peace to the mountain community. The package is lighter this year as well as stronger and more comfortable. This lets you climb as fast as any hardtail, and then outrun them on a nasty singletrack.

Bottom Line:
I’ve ridden some knurly bikes in my time. Some are lame but not my Leader 6000. This baby rocks! No jumping or skidding around. Rides on target. With its carbon frame and bulletproof aluminum rear end. I can concentrate on what is ahead and not what is under. I tell everyone to back off when they want to ride my machine. Because when they do they want to give it back. To all you bike Mags wake up and test the 6000. This thing kicks but.
