$329.00 | | Purchased At: | Bicycles Plus | | Strengths: | Has held up like a champ. Only use it for what it was designed for (unimproved trails, no air) Never had a single issue with it. | | Weaknesses: | Came w/ 2.0 tires, wish they were 2.2 as in brochure. | | Similar Products Used: | New to dirt. | | Bike Setup: | Stock. Turned up the fork preset to the stiffer end to handle only the worst bumps to avoid bottoming. | | Bottom Line: | I ride a couple of miles on streets to the trail so I didn't want too low of gearing. As in any sport using equipment, the more $$ spent the better you'll be but I'm not spending $1k on something w/o a motor. Was looking at the Trek 3700 but the cassette broke on my 3 second test ride, so I went up a notch. Got used to the seat after 2 rides and feels fine and is actually larger than a friend's 4500. For the money it would be hard to find a better bike. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$370.00 | | Purchased At: | Montgomery Cyclery | | Strengths: | great beginner bike. relatively cheap for a decent frame. light enough for me. | | Weaknesses: | terrible tires, fork, and bottom bracket. | | Similar Products Used: | Haro, Trek, and Specialized hardtails | | Bike Setup: | Avid BB7's with Rhyno Lite rims, Race Face Evolvo Crankset, Shimano clipless pedals, Kenda tires | | Bottom Line: | This was a great bike for the money, but i ride a lot more than this bike can take. Fork is in really bad shape. I broke the bottom bracket so i got the new crankset.V-brakes are crappy so i bought the disc brakes and wheels. i spent a lot on upgrades and could have gotten a much nicer bike for the money i have put into it. Bike is good if you plan to ride every once in a while. if you plan to do anything serious, save up some money and get something nicer. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

My fear wasnt whether the frame was going to hold, but of the other stock components. Bontrager did good with this one, wheels are still true and still yet to bottom out the forks.

I rode it very hard for over a year. the only problems that i had were that the stock tires sucked on the trail. I replaced them with kenda 2.6 kenetics tires, but the rear tires began to rum into the frame so i replaced it with a 2.1 irc tire. Also, the screw that holds the pedal arm to the crank on the right side keeps comming loose, i am going to try some lock tight. That sould fix the problem. Additionaly, my rear brake brokes when on of the srews that holds the brakes cable striped out. Yet, this could be because i nalways kept my brakes very tigth and rode the bike way harder then it was ment to be ridin., But it is still a dangerous problem.

I did some research and came up with this bike. It's perfect if you do medium to light riding. The factory saddle is a little rough, but you can get a Specialized BG Sport for about $30. I can see why others don't like the factory fork, but it really doesn't bother me that much. I guess if you plan on doing some heavier riding, you'd have to upgrade the fork. A really great bike for the price. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$493.00 | | Purchased At: | Cikloas (bike shop in Skopje) | | Strengths: | -has a very solid feel; you feel empowered to ride through anything! | | Weaknesses: | -a bit on the heavy side but lighter than the Giant ATX (740?) (I'm comparing both bikes w/o disc brakes).
-though the seatpost looks pretty cool, it's only 300mm in length. It's good that the width is 31.6mm which is the 3rd widest seatpost around but the length should be 350mm or 400mm especially since the bike's top tube is very tilted and , thus, fairly low. I'm not a tall guy (5ft 7) and yet I'm going to be seatpost shopping soon.
| | Similar Products Used: | 99 Gary Fisher Marlin (mtn bike)
06 Trek 7.3 FX (hybrid) | | Bike Setup: | -Just added Zoom bar extensions- very worth it.
-Stock components but if I decide to do an expedition tour, I will change its components over to Shimano XT for the most part. I'll also change its 32 spoke Bontrager rims over to Sun Rhyno Lite rims or Alex Adventurer rims (36 spokes) w/ XT hubs for most durability), change its Suntour crank to the Sugino XD600 crank. I'd also change the fork over to a steel rigid one; I'm most used to that and would like to reduce the weight and not be robbed of fwd momentum esp. on paved paths.
| | Bottom Line: | Definitely recommended whether you're looking to hit trails on weekends or planning on doing a big, self-supported expedition tour. Why, the latter? For an aluminum bike, this has a strong frame (according to professional reviews and XC racers. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

also, the stock tektro brakes aren't that good.. they are functional, but i am replacing them with avid single digit 7s soon.
