$25.00 | | Purchased At: | rented | | Strengths: | good riding hardtail that can handle to some degree the tougher/aggressive riding style(I ride XC and DH). Ok for the $$$. | | Weaknesses: | needs better shocks and platform pedals, or you slip like mad. Shocks bottom out easily, would've rather had a full suspension, its not exactly the best hardtail ever made but its not too bad either. | | Bottom Line: | decent. I would look around for a better ride though. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$265.00 | | Purchased At: | T&T Bicycles | | Strengths: | - nice ride for a good price
- can take some abuse
- aluminum frame | | Weaknesses: | - needs steel pedals right away
- fork bottoms out way too much on hard trails | | Bottom Line: | Easily worth the price tag. Need a better fork if you spend much time on the rougher trails. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$319.00 | | Purchased At: | Olympia cycle & ski | | Strengths: | +The price!!!!
+it's canadian!!!
+This bike has an awesome look! the beefy frame make it look like it has some serious bite! but the lite aluminum frame make it an all around performer for the trails as for the streets. | | Weaknesses: | -The sr suntour xcc is an average fork, great for light trails and bumpy streets but a definite upgrade is needed for hard trails and comp.
-plastic pedals, should be upgraded before even leaving the dealer. | | Bike Setup: | stock, except for permenent splash guards and metal pedals and semi slick tires for everday use | | Bottom Line: | This bike has great workmanship(made in Canada), the price and value is almost unbeatable and newcomers(u.s) this bike would be a great way to distinct yourselves from all the other followers styling their new treks, giants...this is one bad-ass bike! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
