$281.00 | | Purchased At: | bike rescue | | Strengths: | wide tires, strong frame,and disc brakes | | Weaknesses: | the Pedals become loose to easly, and the suspension does not have enough travel | | Bottom Line: | This is a great bike for begginers but it could be better. It would also really help if it had a bash guard. I got really lucky when I purchased my Katmandu because I got it for a really low price. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$400.00 | | Purchased At: | Ancaster cycle | | Strengths: | The frame,crank,bars,Definetly brakes,rims,defietly tires | | Weaknesses: | PEDALS they broke the first day i got the bike.The fork isnt very strong,like u can do sum jumps and drops jus the forks almost bottom out.The derailer is soso it so times will skip but its not that bad. | | Bike Setup: | I have the 2006 Katmandu stock exept for new medal Wellgo pedals that work great, and in the future i hope to buy a good marzohchi or manitu fork and get a higher quality derailer | | Bottom Line: | This is a great bike i love it,its a bit weak in some parts but they could be easly replaced I definetly think this is anawsome bike for trailsand freeride and good for dirtjump wit a couple of up grades.
yous hould buy this bike for trails and freeride this bike wouldnt be that good for crosscountry because it might weigh to muchbut if ur doin downhill it might be a bit weak so it could do it jus u would need a couple uv up grades
The reason i put 4 chilis for value is because it came wit bad pedals and a kinda bad derailer | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
