Date Reviewed: June 21, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Greenbelt | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$999.00 | | Purchased At: | REI | | Strengths: | Comfortable bike, a great ride. Picks up momentum and goes. Enjoy the larger size. Just rolls over dirt. | | Weaknesses: | Sometimes hard to find parts (not all lbs stock 29er tires, etc, looked hard to find a rear rack that works with 29 and disc brakes). That should change. Just barely fits on bus rack. | | Similar Products Used: | hard tail 26 and full suspension 26. | | Bike Setup: | Stock | | Bottom Line: | This is a perfect bike for me. I commute, ride trails and enjoy the great outdoors. Wheels are even bigger than my road bike. Have gotten quite a bit of attention from this bike. I considered a commuter instead, but once I rode this bike and considered my desire for off-road, I have not turned back. Found that PlanetBike Eco rack for disc brakes fits nicely on rear. Others were too short. Old Man Mountain probably could have fixed me up too, but Planet Bike Eco rack is cheaper and works great. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$999.00 | | Purchased At: | CycleSports - Pensacola | | Strengths: | Made in USA. Looks slick (black w/black wheels looks awesome). Non-lefty fork. Nice wheels and tires. Hydraulic brakes. SRAM thumb shifters hook up well. The bike is fast, responsive, yet sucks up the bumps. Bunny hops like a 26er but climbs like a mountain goat. | | Weaknesses: | No weakness with the frame. The components bought new makes the bike a bit heavy. The grips are not the best. | | Similar Products Used: | I've only ridden 26ers - full suspension and hardtail. | | Bike Setup: | Basic setup from the factory: RockShox Dart fork, SRAM shifters, Shimano hydraulic breaks, WTB wheels. | | Bottom Line: | Cannondale has a winner with this bike. Its performance for the price is amazing! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
