$1500.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Great frame design. The DW Link really works to eliminate pedal bob. Climbs great. Lot's of suspension travel. | | Weaknesses: | Suspension linkage squeaks. | | Bottom Line: | I bought this bike a rode it knowing that I was going to upgrade as componenets wore out. I switched to a Manitou Black Platinum Air shock, changed the whole drivetrain to XT, Hayes HFX 9 HD brakes with 8" rotors, Bontrager Race Disc UST rims. Great bike for the money. Very upgradeable. I ride 100 miles each week of road on Trail 100 in Phoenix. Very rocky and rough terrain. This is hard on a bike, but this one has held up very well. Definitely a great buy. Highly recommend this one. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1599.00 | | Purchased At: | performance | | Strengths: | design integrity, build quality, rider position, good balance throughout | | Weaknesses: | Wide and strange handlebars, chain, mystery hubs | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized, Santa Cruz, Ventana, Diamond Back, Kona | | Bike Setup: | Stock, except for chain ( swapped with dura-ace) and cut bars. | | Bottom Line: | I bought this bike after i decided to test out Ironhorse after ridding many Konas for years. I work as a bike mechanic in Soutern CA and Texas and had heard a few interesting reports about the frame geometry. The Sport has an OK component list, but i did not expect it to be anything special. I ride this bike once a week throughout the southwest(CA, AZ,NV) and in Texas and i have decided that is really is a landmark design. The Manitou Iridium and the Black fork work great for the money and i have had not a single problem with them. The Black fork works as well as my Fox fork on my kona and the Black is 1/4 the price. I ususally dislike Answer products, but these work well. The rest of the group is acceptable as long as you take care of it. Ditch the stock chain. I have a 17.5" and the frame just works well and handles everything with ease. Fire roads to rutted downhills are absorbed and the bike sticks. Uphill is above average becuase the postion the bike puts you in. I rebuild all tyoes of bikes everyday and i know that these dail in really well even after 5 years of use. I can tell becuase the hangers stay straight.I really like the bike and it is very well worth the money. Ironhorse has done a great job and delivered a bomb product. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
