Favoriate Trail:Holmbury forest(at night)
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $1800.00
Purchased At:Evans cycles, Bright
Strengths:Its the best all round bike i've ever had, going up is ok, but downhill is where this bike really comes to life.
Weaknesses:stock rims(alex dp 20) are abit weak, i've stuck a flat spot on my rear rim doing a 2 foot jump, the stock front forks have reliability issues.
but these can be solved by new rims and better front forks.
Similar Products Used:Kona stinky(CRAP)
Bike Setup:STOCK
Bottom Line:This is a very very good bike for the money, the frame is bombproof, the whole bike is just simply the best, change the rims and the front forks for better ones then you are race ready, SERIOUSLY GET THIS BIKE, NOW.
