Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$4000.00
Strengths:
Good design 150 mm spaced rear end 83mm bb and 8" of lucious travel. Doesn't pedal too bad and isn't that long so still easy to maneuver. Doesn't feel as heavy as it really is.
Weaknesses:
Fatty ass expensive bottom bracket
Similar Products Used:
Rm7, bullit
Bike Setup:
Rmx R3, 888rc2x, fox dhx 5.0, hayes elcamino's, deemax
Bottom Line:
For some fat hucks or intense dh lines it's an ideal bike. Feels great in Whisler and off every thing I have hit. Isnt too plush to hit jump lines and corners like its on rails. This bike will definately murder you before you kill it.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
this thing is a beast. i bet you could hit up the grand canyon on this puppy, infact i might next weekend. i you want to go off anything, including yo mama (cuz shes that big) jk, then buy this bike becasue it is durable and only the best of the best ride it. and all the chicks will dig it. yeah but serously this bike is an amazing hunk of metal and i highly suggest it if you want to be a good biker and if you are thinking about the r1 or r2 then go with the r3 becasue you basically cant beat the components and its not that much more. buy the r3 u'll luv it

If you got the dough, GO FOR IT! Very hard to find so if you come across one, GO FOR IT, it is a very sick ride and can handle anything you chuck at it!
