$325.00 | | Purchased At: | Sport wheels | | Strengths: | I like how it rides and the frame design. | | Weaknesses: | All of the components suck. | | Similar Products Used: | Norco Pinnacle
Norco wolverine | | Bike Setup: | All stock | | Bottom Line: | It is a well designed bike. But the components could be better. It's pretty light so it's good for hills. The shocks have just about no travel. I would reccomend it if yiu were low on cash. But that's about it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$300.00 | | Purchased At: | Don't Remember | | Strengths: | Frame | | Weaknesses: | Fork-needs more travel | | Similar Products Used: | Other similar priced bikes | | Bike Setup: | Standard | | Bottom Line: | Great bike for a begginer. Despite the fact it's more of a cross-country bike it can handle 3' drops with out much trouble. If you mainly do recreational cross-country this is the bike for you. If you freeride or do downhill, or even do big drops this isn't what you want. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$275.00 | | Purchased At: | bike store | | Strengths: | good durable frame, nice handling | | Weaknesses: | needs better forks | | Similar Products Used: | haro,trek | | Bottom Line: | good bike, its worth the money ok parts its good if you just do basic trail riding but if you do heavier stuff you can all ways put tougher forks on because its worth it because it has a pretty good frame. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$330.00 | | Purchased At: | A&L Cycle and Ski | | Strengths: | nothing at all. well maybe. the seat was kinda comfy thats about it. | | Weaknesses: | derauller broke off 3 times. back rim could barely take a curb drop. v-brakes are weak and the caliper broke once. seat post is weak and bent from just normal riding. front fork is weak and to soft. front rim is weak too. | | Similar Products Used: | nothing | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | this was my first bike and i guess its an okay begginer bike. i rode it way to hard. i had it at the shop every 2nd weekend either getting a new derailler or rim. it was pretty bad. it couldnt handle more than 3ft drops. but i guess it isint really meant for that anyways. im looking into an 05' bigfoot now. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$250.00 | | Purchased At: | bike store | | Strengths: | frame is the same as some of the higher end norco bikes in the same categorie. For tall ppl (like me 6feet), the f***stem and handle bar are good
rapid-fire shifter are good | | Weaknesses: | suspension sucks
seat+seat post sucks
lots of weigth added on by derauillers
| | Similar Products Used: | norco bushpilot
gt palomar | | Bike Setup: | stock + welgo flats ;) and mxc bomber shox | | Bottom Line: | You get wat you pay for. I dont have lots of cash, so instead of wating years and years to save up for a new bike, i upgrade slowly. Thats what i sudgest with this bike (ive changet the fork and pedals, crankset + bb is next)
This bike is fine for comuting and can take a beating (frame) | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$150.00 | | Purchased At: | Sports Junkies | | Strengths: | Good brakes with fast reaction, good grips. Strong frame. Good for small jumps and light trails. Gears work fine. Good maneuvering. | | Weaknesses: | Seat is crappy as hell..its bad for me and im a girl..couldn't imagine how bad it would be for a guy. Forks is sh*tty but what can you expect from a $200 bike. Pedals are crappy plastic and bend easily. The handlebars are screwed though..too far away from the seat. | | Similar Products Used: | norco pinnacle, norco scrambler | | Bike Setup: | same as when bought | | Bottom Line: | If you are looking for a cheap bike to use for staying on the trail in parks i would recommend it, but if ur into out of bounds trails and dirt jumps this bike isnt for you at all. If you're a beginner mtb'er its good for learning. Biggest thing you could get over on this bike without ur gears hitting is probably a stump a little bit taller than a street curb. Don't even bother trying to fit bigger shocks onto a mountaineer. Might as well buy a new bike for the price of Marzocchi's. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$275.00 | | Purchased At: | Mac's Cycle | | Strengths: | Good shifters... Pretty Strong... Good for just riding around... (Like you can't expect much from a 300$ bike....) | | Weaknesses: | Bad, weak RIMS... Handle Bar is bad designed......
| | Bottom Line: | I would strongly recommend it if you are just riding it to school or to work... But.... for tricks.. Trust Me... BUY A BMX.... I've broken it more than 10 times... finally decided to get a new bike.... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$187.00 | | Purchased At: | Silent Sports | | Strengths: | its steel. it wont break. i hope. | | Weaknesses: | for 300 dollars? the bike is a weakness. It'll work perfect for going to school, work or for beginners, not for any dedicated mountain biking. | | Bike Setup: | axiom riser bar, platform pedals | | Bottom Line: | its a cheap bike, so expect cheap parts. It would actually be better to get a mountainbike from Canadian Tire or Sears, for 300 CAD you could get an aluminum frame with pretty much the same or better parts.
but if your price range is 300 or less, i guess its one of the better bikes you could get. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
