$1500.00 | | Purchased At: | a guy I know | | Strengths: | Everything?
well equipped, inexpensive, adjustable in every way you want it to be. | | Weaknesses: | SL1 had to be sent back to Zoch, and DHX sucked in. Also bent one of the main pivot bolts. | | Similar Products Used: | Demo, Enduro, Jamis thingy.... SC bullit, all the fun stuff kinda. | | Bike Setup: | Stock except for a thomson post and spec saddle | | Bottom Line: | Pretty awesome for what I paid. Handles well, corners well, does mostly everything well. Point and go. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$3000.00 | | Purchased At: | Watta Bike Shop | | Strengths: | Suspension design and components are top notch on the 2007 model. This bike is the sh**.
| | Weaknesses: | Had to send the 66 SL1 in for warranty, but now is AWESOME.
I had to replace the crankset with a double ring unit to make the climbing easier, thus had to add front derailler and shifter. | | Similar Products Used: | 2005 Norco Atomik w/ 66rc. | | Bike Setup: | Stock set up w/ exception of xt front derailler, sram x9 shifter and truvativ crankset w/ 32/22 ring set. | | Bottom Line: | I read all the reviews on this model and was a little skepticle. The main reason for the purchase was the weight of the bike, 9 lbs lighter than my Norco. The component spec is top notch. Nothing but the best here. The only thing that sucked was the fork and the lack of the double front ring. After the upgrade, I went and road Mr. Toads in Lake Tahoe. This bike climbs outstanding. Accelerates with ease and rolls over the rocks no problem. As for the DH side of the ride, all I can say is WOW. I havene't even got the suspension dialed and was way faster than my Norco. I love this bike. The price is right, the weight is right, and the bike is right. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 11, 2006 | | Favoriate Trail: | Dh tracks | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$4000.00 | | Purchased At: | på 2 hjul | | Strengths: | I love the Bike. I have the 06'mod. It have only quality parts. the rock shox boxxer ride is soooo smooth, u can adjust it so much. I love the freedrive, it helps me a lot when i'm pedaling | | Weaknesses: | not so much. My fork dind't have full travel in the beginning, just around 120mm out of 178mm. so it took me around a week to get the replacements. it was only 120mm because it had too much fluid. and the I broke somthing inside. | | Similar Products Used: | demo9, stinky, stinky dee-lux, norco team DH. mongoose EC-D. | | Bike Setup: | singeltrack sl wheels. dhx4 shock, boXXer ride fork, holzfeller coponentry like crank, and stem/bar combo. sram x-9. magura gustav M brakes, sdg air seat. | | Bottom Line: | I bought this bike for around 1,5month ago. It's so smuth riding the small tracks, like we have hear in norway, justlike the uk tracks. the fork is so plush, just right for me, absorbing everything that comes in the way. and the dhx 4 shock also is whery smooth. I where looking for a bike, then I saw: transition dirtbag, norco A-line, Ironhorse (ironhores) yackuza DH. and moore. this bike is GOOOOOD | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$2300.00 | | Purchased At: | local bike shop | | Strengths: | From top to bottom its xlnt,very user friendly. Straight away I felt sure & balanced, confident thru the air. You have to almost try to losse traction in fast corners. The adjustalbe front forks make setup fast & simple,(travel & compresion on the fly).The sram shifters are instantanious. | | Weaknesses: | cable placement, gear cable gets pinched on full right lock. a little slow on acceleration. | | Similar Products Used: | This is my first big drop bike | | Bike Setup: | As it comes from the factory, way change what works. | | Bottom Line: | I spent a year searching & testing before deciding on the blackdiamond triple. If your after a bike to open up your adrenalin glands, save yourself the hassle & time, buy it now. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$2800.00 | | Strengths: | insane DH race bike that has an effective and plush use of travel and equiped with wicked parts. Is light and pedals like a gem. | | Weaknesses: | a bit to high for someone under 5,8" | | Similar Products Used: | Kona Stab, Stinky dee-lux | | Bike Setup: | Boxxers, jucieys, fox, holzfellor, sram etc | | Bottom Line: | the bike will suit those who want a DH race bike and don't want to break the bank. As compared to kona, it absolutley leaves their bikes for dead especailly the stab which kona claims is a DH bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$3000.00 | | Purchased At: | Turramurra cyclery | | Strengths: | Its all strong especially the front Rockshox boxxers when u hit a jump its like flying over the moon ( if u know how it feels :s) | | Weaknesses: | The few pivot points can need replacing after alot of use and brake pads and disks need to be cleaned well after long periods of time | | Similar Products Used: | Specialised big hit, trek session 7 | | Bike Setup: | Awsome Small problem is that the seat need to be cut to size as it can colide with rear coilovers | | Bottom Line: | This is a strong sturdy well made bike and is gud for anyone starting downhill or dirt jumping and looking to continue far on this bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
