$250.00 | | Purchased At: | Ancaster Cycle | | Strengths: | Strong frame, pretty good fork for the price. | | Weaknesses: | None that I can find. | | Similar Products Used: | 04' Norco Wolverine | | Bottom Line: | Excellent bike for the price! I bought it about two years back and its still holding up, and I've been using it as a dirtjump bike too. I've managed to bend the rim a little because I haven't been using it for what its meant for. Overall it's an excellent bike for a beginner. Once you've mastered this bike... I suggest moving up to the Norco Wolverine because of the value, but Im not going to get into that bike. So if you're just starting out and you want a bike that can handle tons of abusetry this one, I bet you'll like it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$250.00 | | Purchased At: | Fresh Air Experience | | Strengths: | Excellent Shifting. The RST 156 E suspension is a bit stiff but great for the price. Shifting is awesome, rarely derails. | | Weaknesses: | Tensil steel is a bit heavy compared with aluminum. | | Similar Products Used: | Norco Scorcher, Norco Mountineer, Raliegh Ambush. | | Bike Setup: | Shimano TY-22 Rear changer, RST 156 E Suspension, 21 Speed, Tensil Frame. | | Bottom Line: | Great intoductory bike. This is my first season riding and I'll probably buy a more expensive bike next season but the pinnacle is great. I've passed bikes worth 5 times as much on the trail that are having shifting problems or broken down. You'll be surprised at how well this bike holds its own on harsh roots, rocks, etc. Great bargain for the beginner like myself. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
