$1000.00 | | Purchased At: | Adreniline bikes | | Strengths: | well built, bullit proof, confidence inspiring, progressive suspension, looks good, one of the last canadian hand built rocky mountain bikes. | | Weaknesses: | interupted seattube design, Rock Mountain doesn't make them anymore | | Similar Products Used: | Transition Preston FR, Diamondback Mission 3 | | Bike Setup: | 07'switch frame with marzocchi tstr rear shock, 66 rc2x up front. Race face stem and cranks x-9 drivetrain e-thirteen srs chain guide wellgo mg-1 pedals, loco wheels | | Bottom Line: | I have been extrmely happy with this bike. The rear shock was easy to set up and compliments the 66 rc2x that i have on the front perfectly. I highly recommend the marzocchi 66 rc2x on this bike. This bike really is capable of alot of different diciplines. I have used this bike to dirt jump, cross country, and downhill. The bike is most at home on downhills but will get you up to the top fine if you are willing to pedal. If you get this bike plan on buying two seat posts or a telescoping seatpost. When i am freeriding/dirtjumping i have one post that will allow me to drop it all the way down because it's cut short. I also have a second post that is longer for rides with more time in the seat. When i first started riding this bike i remember thinking to my self "this is what suspension is supposed to feel like." great small bump sensitivity that is progressive as you move through the travel. Everything feels stiff with minimal flex. If you can find one of these frames buy it! you will not regret the purchase. This is a bike that i intend to get several seasons of hard use out of. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
