Price Paid:

Purchased At:
South Africa
Strengths:
Excellent components except seat and post!
Weaknesses:
The i seat post and seat combo. Repalce ASAP as it continually comes loose on rides.
Similar Products Used:
GT
Bike Setup:
XC distance riding. Lower seat for jumping. Changed to Time Atac Pedals :-) good for the mud. Changed to riser bars as the flats were no good to man or beast.
Bottom Line:
A good all round bike. Swapped out pedals and changing to riser bars makes a world of difference to ride and comfort and big up on the handling. All the components are trick so to speak. Juicy 7 brakes working in all conditions and a good handler in the forrest and nice climber on the hills.
However the i seat post and seat combo are a no go. The seat works it's way loose after every ride! Good XC bike and great racer.
