Date Reviewed: August 25, 2005
Favoriate Trail:7stanes, coed y brenin
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $2400.00
Purchased At:ALL TERRAIN CYCLES
Strengths:Great Brakes and Hope/Thomson finishing kit
Weaknesses:Heavy for an XC/all mountain bike package. Fork is a poor choice and would have opted personally for a Fox equiv. Single Pivot design easy to maintain but alot of bobbing on climbs
Similar Products Used:Trek Liquid 30, Cannondale Scalpel 3000, Rocky Mountain Slayer 70
Bike Setup:All standard kit but with Fizik Gobi saddle
Bottom Line:A bullet proof bike but at quite a weight and being single pivot it bobs alot on climbs.
Value Rating:4Overall Rating:2
