Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$3000.00
Strengths:
Bike pops off of lips or over things very well. Linkage design works to enhance the ramp up characteristics of the rear shock making heavier landings feel like nothing.
Weaknesses:
Bearings wore out very quickly (and I live in a dry climate). Also not impressed with their warranty - 6 months on bearings and 1 year on the frame.
Similar Products Used:
RM7 (which broke, like Rm7's do)
Bike Setup:
Med frame, DHX 4 shock, BoxxerWC Fork, Hayes Mag brakes, Diablos Cranks (175mm), mrp guide.
Bottom Line:
Expensive bikes, but a unique ride. A little long for a free ride bike but some might really like this. Very stable at speed and in the air. A good all round bike for shuttle/resort riding.
