Similar Products Used:Orange Patriot 2001, SantaCruz Heckler '03, Intense Uzzy slx
Bike Setup:Marzocchi Bomber All Mountain SL '05 forx, Hope Mono M4 brake disc, mavic Crossmax XL disc, thomson, SDG S7000ti Saddle, Protapper bar, Conti Vertical Pro UST tires 2.3", Shimano XT transmision and shifters.
Bottom Line:An autentic endurance-FR bike. So lighter for its segment, weights 32.45Lb. It's obvious this machine goes down like a patriot missil but really, really amazing, it's possibilities of set up to transformer in a marathon bike. Only five minutes to set up pressures and travels of SPV and TST dial from Marzocchi forx. A grasshopper with 170mm travel in booth wheels or a marathon-endurance machine with 130mm. What do you like it?
