Date Reviewed: July 23, 2005 | | Favoriate Trail: | Inner-loop in Blue Diamond | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Purchased At: | Bike World | | Strengths: | Unbreakable...I've taken this thing on some really rough 4x4 roads, some minor jumps (<2' of air), singletrack and it's held up to everything I've dished at it! The wheels have stayed trued and spokes tight. It's not that heavy, and it's comfortable around town. | | Weaknesses: | Only the lowest gears have trouble shifting now, and the stock Suntour fork is shot! | | Similar Products Used: | Mt. Cycle Moho STS | | Bike Setup: | All stock | | Bottom Line: | I wouldn't pay more than $75 for an in-good-shape one, but for a beginner bike it's great! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 26, 2003 | | Favoriate Trail: | Oakland Hills | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$170.00 | | Purchased At: | Used bike store in Berkeley | | Strengths: | Frame...its a easy inexpensie upgrade for a beginner like me. Relatively light compared to similar products sold in 1998. Comfortable seat. | | Weaknesses: | The Suntour cranks. Rear Shimano Alivio derailleur. Suntour SR forks seem a bit spongy. | | Similar Products Used: | KHS Nomad | | Bike Setup: | All stock I think except for some cheap rims that came with the bike. | | Bottom Line: | I bought this biked very used from a second rate used bike shop. I gave my KHS to my gf so that we can both hit the trails, it was a smaller frame. I wasnt looking to spend much money so although it was pretty beat up I bought it. So I cant really say for sure how the bike would have peformed new. But in 2003 its going to be all used..so if ure buying used my thoughts are: At this age, all the major drive components need to be replaced. Mine has very few miles left. The forks, which are old so i cant really critize, but now they are way too spongy. I like it overall...it rides softer but stronger than the KHS full suspension. It will do until I (if) get serious. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

less than 1 month | | Strengths: |
Very light and strong frame. Suntour front shocks, excellent brakes.Velociraptor tires, and a very comfortable seat. | | Weaknesses: |
Crank set could be up-graded. | | Similar Products Used: |
Mongoose A-52
Aluminum Huffy | | Bike Setup: |
Ridgid frame, Suntour front suspension. | | Bottom Line: | Probably the best entry level-serious mountain bike for the money. This bike wants to be tortured. Don't be fooled by impostures. | | Overall Rating: |
