Bike Setup:
Custom color...stole the components from my Cowan...threw a Marzocchi 66RC2X up front which makes it adjustable for riding anything.
Bottom Line:
A solid freeride hardtail that can be built to ride however you want to ride it...and look good too! The geometry feels comfortable and the bike rides well with my setup. I ride hard and crash hard and it is still going. Whether you jump it, ride trails, or ride street, you wont be disappointed.

Strengths:
Nice Geometry. Built tough. It's my daily driver and it has never let me down. I mostly do street and park and I trust this aluminum frame with the same confidence as a CroMo. Easy to get over the top tube if you go dirt jumping or hit the fun box at the park. Great support from the crew. Rider owned and operated. It comes with a PIG headset!!
Weaknesses:
No built in mount for a chainguide if you want to run gears.

Bottom Line:
It's a tough hardtail that will take a lot of abuse with a smile. Sexy design. Not too heavy considering how built it is. Great support from the crew at Versus. All their bikes are trail tested up in NorCal. It's worth taking a look at this bike for your next dirt jumping or street project.
