Submitted by bigpedaler a Cross Country Rider from NE Indiana
Date Reviewed: May 28, 2009
Favorite Trail:the next one
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $280.00
Purchased At:online
Strengths:sucks up everything I throw at it; reliable
Weaknesses:stock spring too soft, change if you're a biggie (simple to do)
Similar Products Used:RS Jett, Black Sport
Bike Setup:Dakar XLT, RaceFace/Avid/X.9, 819s, Metel R shock
Bottom Line:With the right spring, you can't bottom it; with the stocker, you SURE WILL! Sturdy, take bumps well, adjustments are easy and noticeable (1/8-turn will affect the ride). 5.7" travel means you can tackle a LOT of stuff -- I took an 8" curb on a commute without pulling back on the bar, barely felt it.
