Favorite Trail:
Bootleg Canyon
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$500.00
Purchased At:
Ebay
Strengths:
Bike feels solid, Crankset, seat, handlebars and general geometry fits well. It is a great bike to get into the entry level full suspension bike. It is a "Real bike" (Not Wal-mart) but still inexpensive.
Weaknesses:
Derailleurs need upgrading, and the v-brakes have got to go. When upgraded it has a more professional feel. I would like a longer travel Fork also.
Similar Products Used:
K2 attack, Giant AC2, Fuji Tahoe, Many hardtail bikes.
Bike Setup:
New Derailleurs Deore XT, and Shift levers, upgraded to Shimano Disk brakes, otherwise as purchased
Bottom Line:
If you are looking for a downhill bike or a hardcore professional race bike, this is not for you. However for getting around town, riding to school, And hitting the trails for a few hours on the weekend this would be a great bike for the money. Some of the components can be upgraded as they wear out to make the bike even better.

Bottom Line:
this bike never worked right from the day i bought it. every time i took it out for a ride i would have to spend hours on end fixing it. i must say in its defense when it worked it wasnt that bad. it is french after all so you cant expect too much. but the bottom line is, it is too high maintnence to be any fun. oh and i am being nice with the two flaming chillies because this bike is very flaming.
