$2500.00 | | Purchased At: | race | | Strengths: | the handling and the cornering that you get out of it is very good. you also have a great seated position which is centerd more over the rear end of the bike which is great if your a downhiller like me. The frame isnt heavy at all and i have a lot of heavy things on the bike and still its quite light. | | Weaknesses: | somtimes when i pedal or go off a drop the cranks skeak. This is prob because there wuite loose butt im not sure. They shouldnt creak because there ac cranks and there top quality s##t | | Similar Products Used: | patriot, 222 and gt lobo | | Bike Setup: | race face bb, ac cranks, v 12 pedals, mamoth rims on big uns and dh4 front and rear, big ego forks, twin clicker shock, azonic bars and stem and ornage saddle which aint very good | | Bottom Line: | very good bike if your a starter for downhill. If you get top stuff you wont have a prob with it at all and you will also not be scared of going fast over roots, rocks etc cos the rear shock absorbs it all. top quality | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1750.00 | | Purchased At: | SIngletrack bikes | | Strengths: | Made in England. Mine was Orange!!!, handling | | Weaknesses: | Heavy, Crappy rear shock, weak. | | Similar Products Used: | Kona Stab 99
Orange 222 | | Bike Setup: | Monster T's, hope etc... bla bla | | Bottom Line: | This frame is abit weak, very heavy or that might have been the monster T's? The pivot is in the wrong place, it is impossible to set the frame up so it either doesn't bottom on the bigger stuff. One thing this bike does is corner so well, but my frame cracked along a weld on the top tube. Instead of getting this get the Orange 222. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
