    Submitted by Petter Wallin a Weekend Warrior from Uppsala
    Date Reviewed: May 27, 2001
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $100.00
    Purchased At:Cykel & skidstället
    Strengths:Really good possibilitys to tune the rear suspension, it's a really quick frame.
    Weaknesses:It's a flexy frame, and it's a weak construction in the junction between the swing and the frame itself.
    Similar Products Used:Kona Kingkikapu
    Bike Setup:As it is, but I took my old Marzocchi Z1 BAM from my previous bike. Azonic Shorty stem and Azonic DH bar. BMX flatties instead of SPD's.
    Bottom Line:It's a really good bike, but i think it's mentioned to be used as a trailbike and it's deffenitly not a "big hit" bike, well I couldn't even take the abuse that a gave it, and that's not too much abuse. The swingarmjunction cracked!

    It's noticable that this is a bike that's old in construction, I knew it when I bought it but I never expected this to happen.

    Anayway, I like the bike and I recomend it to all who want's a really good trailbike.
