Strengths:
The bike handles great in the trails. My Oryx came with jett xc so i'm pretty happy with them. Nice and light for the up and down type of riding I do.
Weaknesses:
I'm having problems with my front derailer. so there is still some fine tunning.
Bottom Line:
A great buy for the buck and a quality Canada bike.This bike is for the rec. rider but can take the punishment.

Favorite Trail:

Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
Price is right. Seems good for a heavy rider like me (200+ lbs). Nice tough frame and very responsive. Good for a rider who is starting to get serious and can upgrade parts as they break :)
Weaknesses:
Jett C's have got to go. Will also go clipless next year. May need riser bars also, I find I am bent over too far forward, especially on steep downhills ( don't like to endo :( ).

Bike Setup:
Stock everything except upgraded shocks to Judy XC
Bottom Line:
I like this bike, but anything is better than the '87 Norco Stubble Jumper I rode for several years before this. Nice bike to just hop on and go on any terrain. Takes a good beating on the rough downhills and climbs nice. Good through deep mud, creeks, bush and tight single track. I go through stuff I could never think of going through before. This bike feels more nimble and responsive than higher priced bikes.

Strengths:
Looks great, Made in Canada aluminim Frame, Good value for the buck
Weaknesses:
Some original parts must be upgraded right away (Jet C's)
Similar Products Used:
Specialized Hardrock, Kona Lava Dome
Bike Setup:
Judy XC
Bottom Line:
This thing handles great going down hill and climbs like a mountain goat. Aluminim frame is light and feels strong (so far) even for a 200lbs guy like me. Before you buy, give this thing a try. After a quick upgrade or to, it ROCKS.
