Date Reviewed: March 5, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Santos | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$1300.00 | | Purchased At: | Used (barely) | | Strengths: | Solid Frame, good components, plush suspension. It takes a little bit to get use to it (extra weight) but once you do, you will love it. On the trails, it handles anything in its way and corners well. It really shines coming of drops or jumps. | | Weaknesses: | Stock fork spring is a little too soft, had to replace with a more firm spring. Rear derailleur requires adjustment after every ride. The bike is a little on the heavy side so get in shape if you are riding long trails or climbing. | | Similar Products Used: | First Freeride bike | | Bike Setup: | 2007 Model- all stock - Travis Fork, FoxDHX4.0 Shock, F/D SRam 9, R/D S/Ram X0 | | Bottom Line: | An awesome bike. If you're doing a little of everything but go at it hard, this bike is for you. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$2900.00 | | Purchased At: | Cycle Logic | | Strengths: | Great for all around biking. I dirt jump and ride rough trails mostly and it has worked out great in both environments. Shifting is smooth, the fork is fine if you don't mind slow rebound(when the fork isn't broken atleast), and the rear shock is great (fox 4.0). | | Weaknesses: | The Breakoutplus broke about 2 weeks in. I didn't even hit any jumps and the rebound was shot. This occurred two more times. The whole lowers had to be replaced to fix the problem. Clearly the breakout or Manitou itself does not have what it takes to be quality forks. I have heard of many other manitou forks having to be sent back multiple times, I wouldn't recommend these forks to anyone. The bolts on the bike itself arn't great. Some are galvanized some arn't so I have bolts rusting. I ordered some from Gary Fisher but they didn't have any, not impressed. I have also had trouble with bolts coming loose, a problem I have not had with any previous bikes. Now I have the rear wheel rubbing on the frame, my guess is it needs to be truved. The bike isn't able to hold up to the abuse over long periods of time, I have only had it for three months. | | Similar Products Used: | None | | Bike Setup: | Breakout plus, bontrager wheelset and components, saint cranks and sram x-0 dereilleur. | | Bottom Line: | It's a freeride bike and it does that job well but it just doesn't hold up over long periods of time. I bought the bike because I wanted one that could hold up but it has fallen short of what I expected. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$3800.00 | | Purchased At: | The bicycle market | | Strengths: | well, its a g fisher g, get it, g, so you know its got perfect hand made welding as well as stock manufacturing. | | Weaknesses: | on stock g fishers the floating rear brake can rattle a bit, but otherwise this bad boy can handle anything you throw at it. | | Similar Products Used: | evil imperial | | Bike Setup: | super monster, 28 inch double track (custom), and some custom 4.0- inch marzocchi tires!!! | | Bottom Line: | this mit will catch any baseball that comes near. So my advice is, don't hit it in right field. Go strait for the short stop so you can run away quickly on your g fisher to get to first baby!!!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$3200.00 | | Strengths: | top end components, amazing suspension, strong ass frame period | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | norco a-line, santa cruz vp10, specialized demo 8 | | Bottom Line: | This ride can handle all the drops you through at it. I took it down to whisler B.C last month and it handled amazingly with no disappointments. The kingfisher weighs in at 40 pounds, not to heavy and not to light.With the flick of the valve on the sherman fork i can switch to a more suitable ride in the city and switch back to the downhill crazyness i push this bike through. This is the perfect bike for all you freeriders who demand the best when it comes to riding. All in all i love this bike, if you decide to purchase one, the king fisher 1 is definetly worth every coin | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
