$1750.00 | | Purchased At: | bicycle pro | | Strengths: | durability,frame,suspension,hydraulic disk brakes | | Weaknesses: | none yet | | Similar Products Used: | trex EX8,Giant trance x2,Cdale rush 4.
Just demo rode the above products. | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | the bike is good at all around riding.
I weigh 260lbs and have a large frame size.
the bike does have a hard time keeping up w/XC bikes when climbing but that is more ME than the bike.
the bike will and can climb.loves to go down hill and jump.
When I first got the bike the 500# spring was to soft the whole bike felt bouncy.Put on a 550# spring and made a big difference. For me the bike is set up just right a little on the soft side for XC riding but great for going down the hills I like it that way. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 28, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Incredible bike for the price. Frame is a definite keeper.
Marzocchi shock and forks are great. | | Weaknesses: | stumped on the new QR axle on the marzocchi 55R. Some cheap parts, but that's to be expected for such a low price. | | Similar Products Used: | work in shop. Test lots of different bikes. | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | As i write this review i have only ridden this specific bike for one day. It's great. The shop i work at had reign X1s as rental bikes last year so i have ridden and worked on the design for about a year. What i love about the X2 is the marzocchi parts. Fox is good, but i've always been partial to bombers and i love the feel of the ROCO shock with it's lack of platform and its in house servicability.
I need help with the new QR axle however. No one i know has seen one yet. It seems like i may be missing a piece on the left dropout side. I'm going to call marzocchi and find out what the deal is.
