Submitted by Ruben Kazumian a Downhiller from Antwerp, belgium
Date Reviewed: August 13, 2004
Favoriate Trail:morzine dh track
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $5000.00
Purchased At:Best Bike, brussels
Strengths:This bike is perfect. It is a dream downhill racer out of the box. Its super plush, and surprisingly, not that heavy this year. It pedals really well also with the FOX DH shock, that this is sick!!!!Takes a while to tune it but once you do....
Weaknesses:None so far, I havent broken anything yet and i put it to a good test in the french alpes. I dont know about u freeriders, but for a downhiller like myself this bike feels pretty damn strong and very reliable.
Similar Products Used:i guess the giant dh, or the be-one dh team bike.
Bike Setup:Pretty much stock, except for a change of grips to odi, got rid of those awfull gazaloddi tyres for a pair of maxxis, uhhm....;thats about it.
Bottom Line:This is a really good dh racing bike. Its fast, stable, corners good, very well balanced suspension, plush, strong, looks really good, kind of expensive but worth every penny. The only bad thing on the bike is the tyres. They r ok for moderately muddy weather, but once it gets dry forget about them!!!

Submitted by PJ a Weekend Warrior from Ridgewood, New Jersey, USA
Date Reviewed: June 30, 2004
Favoriate Trail:Ringwood
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $1500.00
Purchased At:a man
Strengths:I actually have a 2000 stab primo (bought off of a man). This thing rips! its disgusting how crazy it is. It is upgraded a little bit, having modo double wide rims and an avalanche in the back, but its crazy. I jump 4-5 foot ledges and it feels like a big bump. Same with stairs, it feels like bumps. The Monster T handles everything nice and smooth.
Weaknesses:ITS EXTREMELY HEAVY. and can be a pain to lag uphill, like even the slightest hill its extremely annoying, so u gotta be strong. Might also be that theres a 52 tooth world cup ring and chain guide as the sprocket.
Similar Products Used:Santa Cruz Bullit (suped up)
Bike Setup:7 1/2 inches of travel in front, 8 in back. Monster T and Avalanche rear shock. 2.8 michelin in front and 2/7 high roller in back (24" tire in back, 26" in front.) Sun Rims double wide MODO. shimano xtr 9 speed rear deraileur and mr gizmo chain guide.
Bottom Line:this bike is a tank, an absolute tank. This is meant to do anything u please (except for uphill trailing, or anyhting uphill.) I got hit by a car on it, and nothing happened 2 me or the bike, but the guys car, boom. heheh
Can handle anything u want.
