$2000.00 | | Purchased At: | Bear Creek Bicycle | | Strengths: | Stiff, Stealth, and Rocky Mountain quality... | | Weaknesses: | Tall seat tube measurement for a large. | | Similar Products Used: | Rocky RM7, Older Switch, Kona Stinky, Big hit. | | Bike Setup: | Marzocchi 66 rc2x, Saint cranks and brakes, Gamut 34t guide, Thompson stem, Diabolus bars, SDG I-beam seat and post, Hugi FR hubs with Tioga rims (crap) Kenda Nevegals | | Bottom Line: | I owned a 2001 RM7, The leap in technology from that bike to this one is amazing. The same travel, with better standover and a much more solid rear end. The 66 rc2x works great. The whole bike is like a mini DH ripper that jibs off anything. The S3 complete would've been a much better deal, but I had a lot of the parts anyway. This is the best evolution of the Switch yet. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$2500.00 | | Purchased At: | IDsport | | Strengths: | Frame is flawless, nice details, strong, powder coating is resistant to scratches | | Weaknesses: | Heavy but it's a HC freeride bike | | Similar Products Used: | None in this class | | Bike Setup: | X9, RF stem, 729/Nevegal/XT, Ringle, Marzocchi 66 light ETA | | Bottom Line: | This bike can do everything. I lower the fork for steep uphills, rev the propedal on DHX 5.0 and it climbs surprisigly well. Down hill is one plush, bottomles ride. No flex just solid feeling. I use XLs/Fat Albert/Big Betty for epic rides to save some weight. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
