| FavoriteTrail: | any |
| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Purchased At: | Greenfish |
| Strengths: | Very stiff frame great suspension High quality through out all frame. Bottom Bracket seems high but the it requires more sag thus keeping wheels glues to ground so dont let higher BB turn you off. Bomb proof for sure |
| Weaknesses: | NONE!!! Just whould like more color options |
| Similar Products Tried: | Banshee Scream, Foes Fly, RM7, V10, Norco shore and La Bruja |
| Bottom Line: | This product is right up there with the big name brands. I have had alot of bikes and the quality is as good or better than most. See one in person and you'll know what I am talking about. |

| FavoriteTrail: | Del Cerrio |
| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Price Paid: | $1700 |
| Purchased At: | Jenson USA |
| Strengths: | Very Strong, has a great range of adjustments, matte black finish looks cool. The standard spacing makes the build easy. |
| Weaknesses: | There aren't to many, but I'm not crazy about the Swinger 6way shock and there is not much clearance for the shock spring it sometime rubs the frame. Also the frame is on the heavy side |
| Similar Products Tried: | Ironhorse Yakuza Ojiki |
| Bike Setup: | 888RC forks, hayes9 brakes, Azonic Outlaw rims, Kenda Bluegroove 2.5 tires front and back. Raceface Atlas cranks and seatpost, azonic A-frame pedals |
| Bottom Line: | The versatility of this frame is great put the bottom bracket in the high position and it will take the biggest hucks and drops you have the nerve to try, lower the botton bracket to the lowest position and you have a slack headangle low bottom bracket rocket for downhill racing and the middle position is just for having a blast. My only gripe is the lack of clearance for the shock, it might become a problem if you want to upgrade the shock (watch out for spring rub on the seat struts). I would buy the frame all over again when it's all said and done. |
