Date Reviewed: May 8, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | Whatever I can fit my bottom-bracket over (and more) | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$700.00 | | Purchased At: | Greggs's Bicycle Of Bellevue | | Strengths: | Fast, light, agile, great stopping power, incredible cornering ability, nice shock, love the disc brakes | | Weaknesses: | front end comes off ground very easily in easiest gear | | Similar Products Used: | Research Dynamics Coyote 4 self-built mountain bike machine (a hardtail with primarily Shimano XT componentry) | | Bike Setup: | So far, stock, but I plan on replacing the rear deraillure and tires | | Bottom Line: | I love this bike! It makes my old bike feel like a turd moving downhill (i.e. slow to maneuver and just plain wrong :). I test rode a couple of bikes before I bought this one, and I liked them (a specialized and a cannondale), but this one blew me away. It feels like I can manhandle the front end over anything, corner around anything, stop before I hurt myself, and be the one waiting at the bottom for everyone else. :) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 3, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | McDowell Mountains | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | SW Bikes | | Strengths: | Light weight, & geometry = comfortable, and good for
climbing. | | Weaknesses: | pedals. | | Similar Products Used: | TREK 820 | | Bike Setup: | Stock except for pedals; changed to Time Aliums | | Bottom Line: | Everything is easier since I upgraded: climbing,
descending, sand, rocks. Riding this bike is really
a pleasure. Yes, there are more expensive/better bikes,
but for a recreational rider like myself who just wants
a bike that can go anywhere, this one does the job. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 8, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | A Heavenly Place | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$700.00 | | Purchased At: | Sickler's Bike Shop | | Strengths: | Strong frame with reliable components. It is a heaven to ride. The bike came with Bontrager tires and wheels. I also like the Deore components. The best part was that it is the WSD which made the fit 10 times better than most bikes I have ever rode. | | Weaknesses: | The only pitfal to this bike was that the seat was to hard and for days I would walk around with a sore tushie. | | Similar Products Used: | Diamondback response and Diamondback Zetec Comp | | Bike Setup: | All stock with the exception of the seat which was switched to a women's specific design from Walmart. | | Bottom Line: | I love this bike it is light and efficient. I have not had to switch any parts except the seat but that really is not a part to me. I went on vacation this year and the four days I was away I rode my bike. I was by the ocean and to me there is no better way to view such a beautiful thing than on a wonderful bike. The company you keep is just as important as well. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
