| FavoriteTrail: | blackrock |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Purchased At: | craiglist |
| Strengths: | really strong frame, optional break flowter, feels alot lighter than it is, geometry adjustments, very good downhill or freeride bike. |
| Weaknesses: | so far so good, I was told that the break flowter is a little weak and that bends fairly easy, I don't used it because i do more freeriding than downhill. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Giant DH, Giant AC1, Banshee Scream. |
| Bike Setup: | Boxxer Fork, Avid Brakes, Race Face Stem & Handlebar, Truvatic Cranks & chain guide, Mavic Wheels, Maxxis Tires |
| Bottom Line: | Love this bike, feels very good doing drops and gap jumps but the real best comes out on fast rocky downhills. I your looking to get this bike, just do it can bit the price. |

| FavoriteTrail: | Anderson WC |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $2500 |
| Purchased At: | Action Cyclery |
| Strengths: | Great biker to peddle, I'm using it to train for the 9 hrs. of Adrenaline. |
| Weaknesses: | basically set up for race. I'm a gap jumper and the Boxxer Team doesn't cut it. |
| Similar Products Tried: | none. I have a Rotec DH 9, |
| Bike Setup: | Boxxer Team. Manitou Swinger 6 way, Hayes El Camino Shimano XT shifter and derailler. |
| Bottom Line: | Can't wait to race it at Fontana, to compare my times from last year (which sucked I might add. I am stoked on how easily I pedal this thing uphill. A great buy for someone that can't afford a Turner DHR, Santa Cruz VP free, or Foes |

| Weaknesses: | Shimano drive train |
| Similar Products Tried: | my cousins demo 7 |
