Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$400.00
Purchased At:
Online
Strengths:
Light bike, extremely strong frame, great bike for the price
Weaknesses:
Components are kinda weak, no doubt you get what you pay for in this department, front fork is good for single track but lacks the travel for good freeride/downhill riding
Bike Setup:
Took off cheap disc brakes and went with the traditional v-brakes, had to replace pedals and crank
Bottom Line:
The bottom line, if you are a first time rider or looking for a strong bike to just ride, than this is the bike for you. I was shocked how strong the frame and wheel set is on this bike. Took out some decent stuff with this bike, including many 5 footers, a 9 footer and some sick downhill chutes. But the bike has it's limits and the harder you push it the harder is pushes back. I just got an 03 kona stinky dee lux so I will never use this bike again, but I would recomended it to anyone looking for a starter bike/single tack bike.
