    Favoriate Trail:The Matador
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Purchased At:Aire Valley Cycles
    Strengths:As said in nearly every review, this bike is great bang for your buck. Great at pedalling,jumps all that shizzle. looks different to the usual suspects.
    Weaknesses:As a learning curve I've just found out that the MRP chainguide doesn't work with the external BB found on the 06 ecd. Looks like I will need to find some brass to get an e13
    Similar Products Used:Orange 224 / Giant Glory Zero
    Bike Setup:default. I changed the grips to Odi lock ons, handlebars are funn fatboy 1.5 riser - which I want to change to get the front a bit lower
    Bottom Line:I love this bike, I've had no problems with it and would really recommend getting one if you're on a budget.

    Favoriate Trail:Westridge
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $3300.00
    Purchased At:Mongoose Tribe
    Strengths:Turns, turns, turns, turns, then pedals, pedals, pedals, pedals! Spec'd to race out of the box, light, and clean paint job.
    Weaknesses:MRP Chainguide. E13 is the way to go.
    Similar Products Used:Ironhorse SGS, Intense M3, Foes, Turner
    Bike Setup:Stock, except for new A-Class Kaprun wheels, Xpedo pedals, Duva lock-on grips, Sunrace Ti-nitride cassette, and Nokian Gazzi-G DH tires
    Bottom Line:This bike hands down is the best deal out there. Believe the hype. It sprints like a dream with very little pedal-bob, eats up all the big stuff at speed, and jumps very nimble. Unless someone is paying you to ride a $6000 over-hyped Foes or Intense, save your money, buy this true racer, and get yourself a second or third bike!
