$700.00 | | Purchased At: | The bike shop | | Strengths: | Handeling, reparablility, good quality parts, reliability | | Weaknesses: | geonometry | | Similar Products Used: | nothing like it (or atleast thats what I think) | | Bike Setup: | extreme cycling/ off road touring | | Bottom Line: | This bike I bought after I had used a 200$ norco, all steel. I needed to up grade. This was the bike in my price range. Im glad I got it. This thing rules! It has everything you need, and it does not give up. I dont take it easy with this thing, and I havent needed any big repairs, (bigest was a front derailor cable needed to be replaced) This bike takes me everywhere, and it is light, and capable to ride over 40 km on gravel, no problem. And the handeling is superb. I once was going 58km/h down a gravel road, arround a relative tight turn, and it stuck to the road, almost as well as pavement!
this bike is worth its cost.. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$700.00 | | Purchased At: | Silent Sports | | Strengths: | The judy works well needs a good week to work in. All componets are good for what you pay. | | Weaknesses: | The rims(alex y2000) I already bent the front rim and I don't know how! The crank makes noises after peddling for 2 hours! | | Bike Setup: | 6061 aluminum frame, judy tt shox, alex rims, alivio, deore, and acera componets. | | Bottom Line: | Its a great bike for what you pay for, but next time NORCO should think about different rims and a silent crank! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$600.00 | | Purchased At: | alpine bikes | | Strengths: | handles nicely, fork is quite good. Great value, you can pay more for less. | | Weaknesses: | Wheels look strong but i'm not so sure, and the brakes quickly become useless but i hate v-brakes. | | Bike Setup: | deore mech discs, mavic x317s and otherwise stock. I know the spec says 6061 aluminium but my frame says 7005 | | Bottom Line: | Good value, quality and sharp with potential to turn it into a really fine bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
