Bottom Line:
Any mountain biker who wish to have a decent light hardtail bike should consider this model. The xt derailleur,deore shifters, grimeca hydraulic disk brakes and z.4 marzocchi bomber should convince you. A well balanced machine, excellent for cross-country or even urban assault. The price isn't that high, considering the quality of the bike. And what's more, the frame is made in Quebec by one of the most world-renowned bike shop in St-Georges de beauce.
