$330.00 | | Strengths: | i love this bike. i have had it for about 4 years and it hasnt failed. i have never bought any upgrades for it. | | Weaknesses: | the pedals are starting to wear down and the chain and chainwheel are getting rusty. the handlebars and stem are stripped. but i am getting new parts and for everythng it is only going to be 130 bucks. the only weakness that "came" with the bke is thatthe frame is a bit too heavy. but it doesnt really matter too much because idont need to et to much air andit is easier to roll and jut wheelie on practice trails. | | Similar Products Used: | a few diamondback and haro bikes. | | Bike Setup: | all stock but getting a s&m dive bar, s&m stem, specialized chainweel, wellgo pedals, generic chain, and ugp grips | | Bottom Line: | buy this bike if you arent that concerned about a little extra weight and are looking fr a sturdy dirt jumpin bike. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$159.00 | | Purchased At: | Target | | Strengths: | The stem won't strip and the brakes work good after you get them dialed in. The frame is pretty good for a target bike, very thin tubing on the frame though. | | Weaknesses: | The seat, it's hard plastic, and the crank is a one piece so that's not good. The brakes stink until you get them dialed in too. Also the upper gyro cable snaps open easily. | | Similar Products Used: | Mongoose sniper, mongoose hoop-d | | Bike Setup: | Same frame, xs 2 piece crank, haro mirra pro bars, bullet proof levers, ati pistol grips, new upper gyro cable (oddessey brake line), s@m pedals new, thorn proof tubes, new over size pegs | | Bottom Line: | So-so frame, mostly for beginners as far as parts go, buy a better bike so you don't have to spend a ton of money on up-grades. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$140.00 | | Purchased At: | Target in Port Huron Michigan | | Strengths: | This bike is good for the money. Good grip on the pegs. Good Tires. this is a light bike at about 33.5 lbs. | | Weaknesses: | The 2002 is better for $20 less even. Pegs are threaded, and the axles bend easily. plastic seat. plastic pedals. the brakes suck. Either Get new brakes or new brake pads atleast. | | Similar Products Used: | Mongoose Hoop-D 2001 | | Bike Setup: | I got this bike then i got new handlebars, new pedals, new pegs, new seat, and I switched the frame. | | Bottom Line: | While this bike costs less then some cranks, I think youd rather have the crank. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
