$1800.00 | | Purchased At: | direct from morewood. | | Strengths: | Can do just about anything well if you set it up right. Kinda rare still, so you wont see one coming the other way. Nice quality and attention to detail. Customer service is second to none. Simple and straight forward. Paint seems to be tough. | | Weaknesses: | After three months of good riding i cant really think of one. I do recomend going with a flush mount headset if you live in a place that has lots of climbing... to keep the front end down. see below. | | Similar Products Used: | This is my second morewood, I have also had a Shova LT. Trek fuel. | | Bike Setup: | Magura Wotan 160.mm fork. Magura Gustav brakes, XO and X7 drivetrain. King hubs with fun bolts in back. Easton vice hardware.Fox dhx air 5.0 shock. | | Bottom Line: | More fun than anything..You could easily get this thing to right under 30.lbs. with some smart part picks. Mine weighs 33ish with some pretty stout parts on it. It does everything well. It rails corners and stays tucked underneath you nice and neat on fast downhills. Flip the pro pedal on the shock, and it climbs way better than a bike with this much travel should. If you run a 160mm fork i would recomend running a e13 headet reducer with flushmount bearings to drop the front a bit. It will climb better. If you run a slightly shorter fork then no worries. Unlike alot of long travel bikes this has good trail manners and is at home on tight rocky trails. Its not cheap, but then good stuff never is. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
