    Submitted by Mike Tearle a Downhiller from Wallingford, UK
    Date Reviewed: August 25, 2001
    Favorite Trail:Super Morzine singletrack, France
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $1000.00
    Strengths:Strength, stability, adjustability......and the weight doesn't hurt going downhill as well.
    Weaknesses:Weight - but only if I've got to push it. Not an issue in the Alps.
    Similar Products Used:Giant ATX-one, GT-LTS
    Bike Setup:Bergman forks, Mavic D321's, Hope discs, XT groupo, Michelin tyres, strong contact points.
    Bottom Line:What a machine. Once you get it in the environment it was designed for (real dh's in the Alps or similar) it is fantastic. Plenty of trave, well controlled, stable and handles beautifully. Once the Shivers go on the front it'll be perfect.....

    Submitted by Joland a Downhiller from Mendoza, Argentina
    Date Reviewed: February 7, 2000
    Favorite Trail:Cerro Otto, Bariloche
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Strengths:Rigidity, suspension works great (RockShox Super Deluxe is the best rear shock on earth!), almost every dimension can be changed
    Weaknesses:too heavy?????? - NOT IMPORTANT FOR DOWNHILL RACING!!!!!!
    Similar Products Used:Zenith Sake DH (argentinean brand), GT STS DH, Trek Y33, GT LTS 1000
    Bike Setup:Scott Vertigo LSD World Cup, RST Mozo XXL, Hayes full hydraulic, XTR, AC, Kore, Azonic
    Bottom Line:180mm of full adjustable travel, it can be easily adapted for almost every kind of trail, it has sealed bearings in every pivot (it has only one, :) ). Its weight can be a pain in the ass if you don't have anyone who carries you up. I'd like to have the original seat (motocross style), but it seems imposible to locate. I have a Tioga MultiControl DH and I think it's the best DH seat sofar
