    Submitted by Jason a Weekend Warrior from norfolk, virginia, usa
    Date Reviewed: October 1, 2003
    Favorite Trail:all of them
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $600.00
    Purchased At:Port Norfolk Bikes
    Strengths:Brakes, Frame, Rims and basic construction are top notch.
    Weaknesses:Factory spring is a little soft.
    Similar Products Used:Schwinn Mirada sport, Tested-giant iguana disk, Hard rock Pro, Dimondback Topanga
    Bike Setup:Stock so far
    Bottom Line:Great balance and steering. Brakes super. It was a toss up between the Giant iguana and the mesa. But the mesa was on sale and got a sweet deal. Overall a great bike. I use it to commute M-F and Singletrack the weekends. I would recomend the giant to a first time rider and don't want to spend the $750 for the mesa at full price, but if you are into riding this is the bike to have.

    Similar Products Used:Giant Yukon & Rincon, Haro V4
    Bike Setup:Stock
    Bottom Line:Great frame geometry, slanted top tube. Tight and strong. Be careful, frames are really small. Feels like it has a lower centre to gravity. Great to use on trail and xc rides. Got a real sporty look and there's no real need to upgrade. GREAT BIKE!
