Date Reviewed: January 6, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | Anything that won't kill me | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$2500.00 | | Purchased At: | "Thump" Cyclery | | Strengths: | NO pedal bob at all...No flex during hard cornering.Climbed great and decended just as well...Very light and responsive to put it mildly!!!...First rate ALL THE WAY!!! | | Weaknesses: | After riding it for close to a year i've yet to find one.
| | Similar Products Used: | Specialized...Santa cruz...Trek...Haro...AMP...Gary Fisher...Kona | | Bike Setup: | Marzocchi Z2...XTR shifter,deraileurs,v-brakes,Syncros cranks,KORE stem and bars and Spinergy "rex-x" wheels | | Bottom Line: | I was quite surprised by the responsiveness and agility of this rig,it could be because the frame is unbelievably light...2.75 pounds!! Although simple by design i put this bike through the same trails I did on my "FSR" and it held up better then the coveted "4-bar" design.During climbs there was NO BOBBING and no flex.And when it FLEW downhill while the "SID" air shock kept the rear wheel tight to the ground at all times!! For the avid XC'er I highly doubt you will find a more satisfying rig. Now I know why the Schwinn "Homegrown" Series are snatched up very quickly upon there release to the public. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
