$2850.00 | | Purchased At: | Sunset MTB | | Strengths: | Everything. Haven't had to replace a thing. | | Weaknesses: | Although similar to the 2006 Patriot 66, it feels alot shorter. Price is defo a weekness. | | Similar Products Used: | None, this is my 3rd Patriot. | | Bike Setup: | All standard apart from Boxxer Teams and Hope Vision 2's. | | Bottom Line: | Absolutely bombproof. Downhill it is superb, tracking all ruts with no flex. I even entered the 2008 SITS with it whilst running Boxxer Teams up front. An effort to ride up but tearing past the XC guys on the slippy/muddy downhills brought a smile to my face. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$6000.00 | | Purchased At: | Highland Bicycle Co | | Strengths: | Light, Strong, Sexy, Versatile, Easy to Maintain, Easy to Clean, No Linkage, No Flex, No quarterly bearing change, Climbs very well when the shock is set up correctly, Genius Cable Routing. | | Weaknesses: | No ISCG Tabs | | Similar Products Used: | Commencal Mini DH (Good), Giant Reign (pish), Santa Cruz Nomad (OK), Scott Ransom (Broken), Kona Coilair (wank), Rocky Mountain Slayer, (the worst ride i've ever had) | | Bike Setup: | 2008 Patriot with maxle rear end and evolver ISX 4 shock, 36 talas rc2, hope mono m4 (floating), xtr c/set, E 13 sts, Hope ProII/ Mavic 819, swamp thing 2.5 ust, X9, Hope Ceramic B/B, Truvativ/FSA Finishing Kit. | | Bottom Line: | This is by far the best bike i've ever tried and after 3 and a half years working in the local bike shop, numerous demo days/alpine adventures and a succession of top end bikes you can be sure that i've tried the rest. I have abused it for a year now and all i've changed is the B/B (XTR being the original). If you set it up correctly it will do anything from xc trails to full on DH. If you disagree, YOU'RE WRONG!!............Seriously. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
