$1100.00 | | Purchased At: | Germany local shop on a business travel | | Strengths: | stiff, and plush on rockgardens, easy to handle, corners fast and pedals very well, agree with others in this reviews in all the positives | | Weaknesses: | non so far, agree on the need for a floating rear disc, but I got one from brake therapy and hapily ever after | | Similar Products Used: | Demo9, M-1, Kona StabPrimo and Banshee scream. | | Bike Setup: | Manitou Travis 200,DeeMax,Atlas Xtype cranckset,e-thirteen,Kenda Nevegal 2.7F/2.5R-stan's tubless converted, thompson DH stem & post,Azonic B52 bar,Hayes ElCamino DB, CK headset. | | Bottom Line: | Great bike, I have NO regrets of buying this frame, I moved the parts from my M-1, and rode it for 3 DH sessions, and decided to sell the Intense. I love my Avent Vandal, I think is a great bike well designed and fair priced, no need to pay more for same performance. I will recomend it to any Dowhiller or FR'er. Will not disapoint. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
