    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $600.00
    Purchased At:Keswick Cycles
    Strengths:I own the 2007 seven model, and i'll tell you, its one sick bike. Nice looking paint job, leather seat, great grips and pedals. It's as lite as most racing bikes. The components are top of the line too.
    Weaknesses:The 2007 model doesn't come with a gyro, or atleast mine didn't, and the grips get your hands sweaty pretty fast.
    Similar Products Used:SE racing bikes, Haro Mirra Flare
    Bike Setup:Odyssey grips, Snafu pedals, Odyssey gyro, the rest is stock
    Bottom Line:This bike is the best around. You can't possibly get more bang for your buck anywhere else.

    Submitted by Kyle Matthews a from warrensburg mo usa
    Date Reviewed: August 12, 2004
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $640.00
    Purchased At:freeride bike and skate shop
    Strengths:Everything on the bike is good no noises at all except for the cassette this bike is awesome.
    Weaknesses:It has bad grips and you might have to cut the bars down.
    Similar Products Used:Tank,Sun,Mosh,Diamondback
    Bike Setup:I like the bars short but it alone has an awesome setup.
    Bottom Line:This bike is the best out there and by the way I have the 2005 fuse 4 and not the 2004.But if I was you I would get it chop down the bars andput new grips on and ride and do alot of dirt jumping on it because that is what it is basically built for.I would buy it only if you do freestyle becuase it is not meant for racing.this bike has everthing you need and it is stock.It has chain tensioners,a flip flop cassette,light as heck,hub guard, and a 25t sprocket.

    Favorite Trail:9th St. & Hoo-bo Hills
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $600.00
    Purchased At:Hills
    Strengths:The bike must be the best bike I have erver had so far. The strengh to weight ratio is better than any jumper I've seen or rode, It would take a high end race bike to get as light as this thing is. A double butted minpulated frame, 36 Big Citys on sealed hollow axle l&R drive cassette hub,
    a Luftalarm aftermarket crank and sprocket($235), CNC'ed stem 7.75 rise bars, 125psi tires w/ dual tread compound and casing w/dual casing. euro bottom bracket.
    Weaknesses:Cant find none yet.
    Similar Products Used:Mosh,Hoffman,Haro,fit S&M,Macneil,WeThePeople,Diamondback
    Bike Setup:Bone stock! And it my sound weird but I like that way. I just took the pegs off.
    Bottom Line:If you can aford it it is way better than 99% of even they custom bike frame builds. It's problly lighter and stronger than what your riding right now.
