$289.00 | | Purchased At: | eBay | | Strengths: | This bike is very strong, the frame give you the capabilities to upgrade with nicer parts which make this bike even better. I have this bike for about a year, and I this bike have done the job. I have ridden this bike in almost all kind of mt terrain from non technical to technical trails. | | Weaknesses: | The only weakness of this bike is the rear shock, it broke a few weeks ago, since it is an entry level shock and I took it to the over the limit. The bike feels heavy with all the stock parts, but becomes lighter with nicer parts. | | Similar Products Used: | Giant Boulder, Giant NRS | | Bike Setup: | Fork-Mozo USA R-150A, Front Der-Shimano C-050, Rear Der-Shimano DeoreLX(Upgrade), Avid BB5 Disk Break set(Upgrade) | | Bottom Line: | I have the 2004 model, so far I am satisfied with the performance of the bike. It have a nice frame, the components are entry level and can be upgrade for nicer and lighter ones. The bike is a very good beginner bike. I think that the only weakness of this bike is the rear suspension. I will recommend this bike for people that are getting into the sport. This bike is meant to be for cross country and it should be ridden as a cross country bike, NO Free Style or DH. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
