Date Reviewed: July 17, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | Cascades track | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$1700.00 | | Purchased At: | Alstar | | Strengths: | Best shifters I've used, integrated brakelever and up shift. The frame is really tough and never flexes, yet it is still light with the componentry. Mz Fondo forks have been underated, you can dial them in any which way. | | Weaknesses: | The bottom bracket is too high, so it can't climb, but that is a trade off for 5" travel. | | Similar Products Used: | Fisher Big Sur, Giant NRS-2 | | Bike Setup: | Stock, full Deore, except I've swapped from flat pedals to SPD to try and help it climb. | | Bottom Line: | The lockout front and rear, lets me keep up with the crew on the road, and the 5" lets me go wild on the descents.
It is a little bit big to be classed as a pure XC, but as a cross over freeride/ XC bike it really performs, and can keep up in either camp.
Probably not cool enough for the brand name set, but surely out performs a lot of "better" bikes, and is tough enough to take what you throw at it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
